Arrow total electrical failure

On top of all the other problems I am having with my FB an new one has snuck it's way to the top. Sometime when it dies on me. When I turn the key to restart the engine the entire electrical system goes dead. Like there is no power at all coming from the battery. I am going to trouble shoot it tomorrow, but I was hoping someone on the forum has had this happen to them and can point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Bob
