Can a bad Dual Polarity Solenoid cause no power to coach. only thing that works is MBR slide, no lights even the green light on the fuse panel doesn't come on.. 3901fb 5ver 2013.. When Gen is plugged to back of rig things work..

You need to have the battery disconnect switch in the convenience center turned on to get power from the batteries to the inside panel. You need the 120 volt breaker in the inside panel that powers the converter turned on. The auto reset breaker on the wall behind the batteries needs to be working to make the connection from the converter to the batteries. The problem is likely one of these. The dual polarity solenoid will not be the problem.

If you mean the Trombetta type switch near the hydraulic pump then the answer is no.

Are you saying nothing works on battery (except the MBR (master bedroom?) slide) but it all works with generator (or shore) power?

The only green light in the fuse panel area is associated with the Converter (specifically the Charge Wizard function). It will only illuminate with 120V power being supplied.

Lights and slides run off 12V power when no shore power is provided (and even then the hydraulics need charged batteries to operate). Be sure the red battery disconnect switch in the convenience center is in the position where the key CAN NOT be removed.

Just so everyone knows, the problem has been resolved. It was yet another dead 50 amp self resetting circuit breaker (gasp!). Everything works fine after replacing the breaker.

Yes the 50 amp was the problem, thx for assisting me with your knowledge Carl, I should adopt you.. Serious...
