Thanks to everyone who responded on my DuoTherm problem - I tried every one of your suggestions!
I went out yesterday morning to warm up the engine in preparation to leaving for Florida (from NJ) and, after starting the engine, I tried the DuoTherm one more time. Apparently something got reset with the engine start because the damn thing turned on and started working perfectly.
I had reset the breakers, flipped the battery disconnect, checked for fuses in the unit, but there must be some relay the needed voltage coming off the alternator to reset it (at least this is my theory).
NEW PROBLEM -
This is the trip from hell! 6 weeks ago we came home from a flawless 7500 mile trip around the country, but in the last 36 hours have had one crisis after another! Last night we used too much heat (it was in the teens outside) and killed the AC outlets but thanks to the User Manual I found the tripped breaker on the inverter.
Stopped for tonight and hit the levelers - light comes on indicating No Parking Brake... tried the slideout - warning voice comes on but Nothing from the slide. I assume it has an interlock with the parking indicator. Air Brakes are ON, tranny in Neutral.
I know there is an indicator set when the parking brake is applied - any idea where it is located? I'm breaking out the manuals now.

Hi Dave,
If you have the large foldout electrical schematic like S0699, it shows the interconnect between the HWH and brakes energized.

Hi Fred -
Thanks, I'll look first thing in the morning. Do you know where the parking switch is located by chance? I saw in the slide schematic that it connected to the parking switch but not the switch location.

Hi Dave,
I can only guess it's in the left side console, but there might be a relay in the VIM module.

PARKING BRAKE ?.NOT WORKING. Just wanted to share with the board my suggestions to Dave on his trouble. This might help someone else in the future if they have the same problem. Also cannot say enough about CC Tech Support, they were great, I had no cell service at the time. I called them on their 800# from the campground pay phone, what a super service they provide.
Ed - Thank you SO MUCH - you're a lifesaver! Your instructions were better than the ones I would have gotten from CC because they are closed for the holidays! I put the jumper on and everything worked so I cleaned the contacts and switch mount and it works perfectly. Thnks again! Dave
