All fuses checked and accounted for.
"But if your WFCO is properly connected...Then it is in PARALLEL with the batteries so if the lights work on shore power, they MUST work on battery power" If this is true, I wonder if the WFCO is NOT properly connected. Since lights DO work on shore power and DO NOT work on battery.
Disclaimer: my smart and handy husband installed converter and is vehement that it is installed "the same way the old unit was installed."
Guess I gotta go tribble hunting now for connector/wire problems.
Just to be clear, we are talking about a rolling tent (2008 Aliner folding trailer with two interior convenience lights and a propane furnace), so pretty simple set-up. There IS indeed a battery fuse which I discovered by reading the owner's manual.
Appt. at local trailer repair shop on Friday, if mystery is not solved by then. Will report findings!
