You were on shore power so the converter would make the 12v and use the battery as a filter to have "clean" 12v to run some things like fridge controls and the battery and tank monitor idiot lights gizmo.
You have some 120v problems to solve as above, but in addition you said you had no lights at one point. You should have had 12v lights running from battery even with no 120v to power the converter.
Since 12v is also required for the fridge/furnace/AC controls, there may be a 12v factor amongst the other issues. One thing at a time. Make sure you can run everything on just 12v battery and propane. Second part is fix the 120v issues.
Get the 12v all running right first so there is no mix-up in trouble shooting the fridge etc as to whether it is 12v or 120v causing the trouble.
