Here’s an update
Just finished putting in the new 12v fuse panel. I noticed that the neutral coming from the converter was burnt, ridged and discolored at the terminal on the panel.

The battery is back on and everything is running normal so far. No smell or warm wires at the moment.
One thing to note is that the voltage was jumping from 11 to 12 to 13 and back down while the furnace, refrigerator and lights were working. After the renwiring everything is a solid 13 with things running or not. The battery test at 12v.
