I would check the converter and make sure you did no trip a breaker or something, there are also inline fuses usually to check...
Good Luck,

Rob,
With the RV plugged into shore power, check the output of the convertor at the battery posts. You should get 13+ volts. Check it with a digital meter if you have one. Do you have a circuit breaker in your entrance panel dedicated for the convertor? Has that tripped? Switch it off then back on.

Rob,
It is possible that there are one or two circuit breakers or large amperage fuses mounted right on the converter itself or on the power centre panel. They are there to protect a converter from being damaged should the batteries be connected backwards momentarily but they can blow at other times as well. If there is no 13.2 volts DC at the battery terminal, check these fuses/breakers.

I'm going to get a volt meter, I checked breaker it was fine, fuse good for converter, the only fuse I still need to check is the one between the converter and inverter. I'm home plugged in to shore power but I checked everything and it doesn't look like charging is happening.... Ugh, I hate electrical issues.......Alfa38User said:
