Electrical problem..Magnatec converter?
Perplexing problem, Damon Intruder now in storage shed. Plugged in shed outlet, ran small electric heater for 4 to 5 days, no problem. Turned heater off, no 110 or 12 volt devices running. Went back...

QUOTE:Next, I'm not sure if the charger function of the converter feeds off of the 'Recep' breaker, or if its hot wired directly to the shore power connecter
That makes no sense? why would anyone ever do such a thing? I seriously doubt this is the way its wired.U may have a bad soliniod that is stuck on and caused the starter battery to go dead when the charger quit as it would be drained by the house batterys going low. There is most certainly something left on or shorted for all the batterys to go that dead in just a few days
Its possible you simply have 3 bad batterys but to me that's a stretch
and does not account for the 120V breakers tripping
But like I said earlier you most likely will not be able to run the inverter/converter successfully off a 15 or 20 SP breaker if the batterys are that dead as the converter will draw more than the line will supply. I have had this happen to me
