A quick check for the converter is to turn off the aux battery switch while plugged into shorepower. Coach 12 volt systems should remain on being powered by the converter. I suspect you'll be in the dark...
You are correct, I'm in the dark when I do that! I just assumed that the aux battery switch always had to be on, regardless of shore power being involved or not.... I'm learning here guys.

It's worth noting that there are some variations in how things are wired. More often than not the converter is on the house side of the battery disconnect switch, so it should power things when the battery is disconnected (but not charge the battery), but there are rigs where it's connected on the battery side, so it will not power the coach with the battery disconnected but it will charge the battery under those circumstances.
