Help please!

We have a 2006 coachman. I have interior and exterior lights. No fridge, fan, a/c or furnace. Checked all fuses and breakers seem to be fine. Battery was completely dead so disconnected it. The pump barely turned on but still nothing else. Does anyone think converter needs replaced?

    You likely need a fully charged battery hooked up to operate the fridge, fan and furnace control board. the A/C will not work on battery. You must be plugged into shore power for A/C, microwave, interior outlets, etc. Often the battery serves as a "buffer" between the converter and the house 12 systems to prevent damage. More folk will probably give you a better explanation soon.

    PS. It is a CoachmEn, not CoachmAn.

    well the first thing I would do would be to charge up the battery if it will take one.
