yes i understand that i must go to the rv. but what to check without shore power.
This makes no sense ... in your first post you said - "had our battery checked and it seems to be ok. i did notice fan not running on converter, any way to check the converter?"
Since you suspect the converter is faulty and want to check it you need to feed it 120 vac shore power. Since your trailer is apparently stored where shore power isn't available that obviously means you either have to take the trailer to where shore power is available OR take shore power to it - i.e. a genset. Alternately, remove the converter from the trailer entirely and take it home, put it on your workbench, and check it with a DVM for proper operation. That however won't tell you if there's something else amiss in the trailer itself so I'd first want to test in place.
