    You may want to keep a close eye on your batteries. Sometimes finding a tripped converter circuit breaker means perhaps one of your battery cells have boiled out its fluids and the battery is starting to go into self destruct.

    The converter/charger unit tripped it's circuit breaker because of a possible heavy load by the battery starting to go bad on you...

    just my thoughts

  • Your converter is not charging the house battery when you are plugged in. Check the converter breaker, and the 12V output fuses.
