Sorry to tell you the WFCO converter is not the culprit.
120 volt systems are protected by Circuit breakers. NOW here is a suspect list.
But first.. Does the air conditioner work?
IF NOTHING 120 volt works, Fridge says GAS. A/C does not work No hot water on Electric.
THen start at the park.. Make sure there is power to the outlet you are plugged into I have seen some circcuit breakers in parks trip real real easy...
Now I have a replacement plug on my power cord.. Guess why (not the original reason but it is the reason I repalced the Replacement)
If you have a detachable cord check for power at the outlet on teh cord. (Found one where they messed up at the factory .... Note I'm not a RV technician I don't do this for a living just help the guy next site)
Then you have, on a motor home (not often on a trailer) an Automatic Transfer Switch
FInally we get to the circuit breakers A trippe main will shut you down.
IF the A/C and such work.. Then the above does not apply.
Some RV's have an INVERTER. now if you do you will have a big breaker (likelu 30 amp as a branch breaker.. Inverters either have Circuit breakers on them or feed a SUB PANEL (2nd breaker panel)
Finally for selected outlets you have the GFCI which I gather did not pass test (no power_) but is likeluy good.
FInally.. I had a bunch of loose screws in my Power distro panel. Once tightened many things worked better.
