12V circuit only works on shore power or generator

I have two 12V circuits that intermittently do not work. When I run the generator or connect to shore power the circuits work fine. I am not sure what the electrical gods are telling me. Any advice...

Matt speaks truth. If you intend to keep the RV you will be much better off with a modern power converter. You will charge faster, batteries will last longer, and you quite possibly will solve your problem.


I was just troubleshooting my brother's 12 volt woes this weekend. His old converter is dead on the "filtered" 12 volt side which is also the battery charging circuit so it will be getting a PD replacement unit.
