Electrical Issue- Bad Converter?

Hello-

I have 2006 Weekend Warrior with the following electrical problems while on 12V-

1. Lights are dim and when other lights are turned on, lights go out for brief second and come back on.
2. Radio will be playing and a light is switched on, radio will power off and back on.
3. The battery panel shows "weak" regardless of the length of charge.

When plugged into shore power or generator running, everything works great.

Generator starts on battery power without hesitation.

I have put two new batteries in and have 12v from batteries to the converter.

Does this sound like a converter issue, a loose connection somewhere or something else.

If converter, could someone tell me the best way to check if bad?

Thank you for your assistance. Roger

Had to replace my converter last week. Had similar symptoms you described. The "weak" battery condition on the panel was showing that the batteries were not being charged. My refrigerator showing "error" with the temperature going up and trying to switch to propane plus the dim lights were the first signs. The RV technican checked the volts on the battery and then checked the current from the convertor to the battery and determined that the batteries were not getting charged. He had a small battery charger he plugged into an outlet on the outside of the trailer and then connected it up to one battery----everything worked again with no issues. He left the battery charger on overnight because he did not have a convertor with him. Came the next day replaced the convertor then with a current meter he checked that the batteries were being charged. Problem solved:)
