I have a 2017 28RKS Catalina tow trailer. I'll detail the symptoms.
I returned home from a trip and plugged my trailer into home outdoor plug (120V). I removed the batteries to charge them. I don't like leaving the batteries on my trailer because of the extreme heat in the summer. Typically my home outlet will operate the AC because of my 10 gauge extension cord. I returned to the trailer and my slide out did not work. Also the interior lights, fridge and AC didn't work either. Interestingly, the microwave worked! I decided to reconnect the trailer battery and everything started working again, even the AC. Why is a battery connection needed to operate the DC lights and slideout when the trailer is connected to my home power? Also why does the AC and fridge not work unless there is a battery connection? Is it an inverter issue? I checked all my fuses and they all look good.
Thanks for your help; I'm puzzled.
