Help! 12v issues
Ok my interior lights were looking dim all the sudden while working in camper. It is plugged up to power. Converter has 2 30 amp fuses both were burned. I replaced them now no 12v will work, no lights...

The truck 7-pin fuse for the #4 charging pin is independent from the running lights pins AFAIK. Ours is a 40a fuse in a box under the hood.
It sounds more like the battery fuse or little DC circuit breaker on the pos battery cable wire (within 18 inches of the battery under one rule) is blown so your 12v is not reaching the camper panel. However the slide should work. It has its own 30a fuse on its own pos cable that might now be blown too.
The converter could be ok once the problem is fixed. Looks like you need to start by taking the wires off the battery and with shore power on, and those two 30a fuses good, see if you have 13.8v (approx.)
Also check the 120v breakers. The converter will be on one of them. New to you so confirm labels on every 120v breaker--sometimes they get labelled wrong.
Check for any GFCI popped receptacles too. Sometimes the converter is plugged into a GFCI circuit.
Then sort out the battery wiring and check the battery with an hydrometer and your meter.
Good luck. It gets better once the teething problems are solved :)
