Found it inside the Aquahot bay like Bill and Jack said. Found the fuse box on the left side of the drivers side 3rd bay back under the Velcro cover. The fuse had blown so I replaced it and it came right on.

Thanks everybody!

If yours is like mine you may as well go ahead and get a nice supply of those 10 amp fuses.  Mine will run for quite a while but eventually it will blow.

Newell tech told me to change the 10A fuse to a 15A fuse and I haven't blown one since.

Tom, yes I have a 12 volt compressor in the rear and a 120 volt up front in the generator blower bay in front of the passenger side front wheel.

Don't mean to hijack but I was considering upsizing the fuse to a 15 amp last weekend after blowing the second one in three days.  Not being as familiar with electrical design as I would like changing a basic element such as that makes me a little nervous.  Not a fan of burning my rig down.

Jack,
I had the same concerns as you.  I spoke with a Newell Tech prior to changing.  He said the wiring was sufficient for 15 amps.  He stated as the 12V compressor motors aged they pulled up to and very quickly over 10 amps when they started, enough to blow the 10 amp fuses.  With this info I made the decision to use a 15 amp fuse.  At first I monitoted the wiring to see if it was heating up. I found none. That was 10 years ago.

Just remember as an owner we all have the final say so of what goes on with our coaches.............................

Good to hear others have made that change without issue, I'm sure I will be following suit.
