No DC power even when plugged in help PLEASE
Hello. Just got home from a nice camping trip with my family. Went outside in the dark, flipped light switch and nothing. No rado, lights, pump, etc. no lights on the meter either. Plugs work, fridge ...

I won't say "all," but converters will usually provide power even without a battery connected. But, your battery obviously was connected - when you hooked up jumper cables right at the battery, lights came on.
So, I'm really suspicious of the power converter section (the circuit board sitting in the bottom). I see a glass fuse in the lower right corner under the fan - does that look blown? DISCONNECT THE AC POWER BEFORE POKING AROUND.
When you get your meter - it looks like the battery is connected to the large red wire right above the right side fan (positive) and one of the white wires in the upper right (ground). The output of the converter should be the yellow wire coming in from the top (positive) and the other white wire.
