Troubleshooting Electrical System on 2018 Keystone Springdale That is Completely Dead on One Side
Question:
We just got our 2018 Springdale and the whole right side electrical isnt working. Breaker isnt tripped. First time buyers so we arent experienced in this. Maybe a fuse?

If your brand-new 2018 Keystone Springdale bumper-pull or 5th wheel travel trailer is electrically dead on one entire side, then this sounds more like an issue at the main power distribution box rather than a blown fuse. Usually individual components, like the fridge or water heater, will be fused but not an entire side of the trailer.
Since the trailer is so new (and for your safety) I would have it checked by the dealer as a warranty item but if that is not possible right now then check the connections at the trailer's main electrical panel. I would expect that an issue like this would be related to one of the primary power cables for the trailer so look first at the largest cables and their connections to the battery/inverter set-up.
If you have a circuit tester like # PTW2993 you can check individual wires for 12V power. This can be helpful in finding the specific point where the power is lost.
