Invertor

As long as the charger is on the battery the lights will work. As soon as you remove the charger the lights get very dim then go out completely. The battery is new it just seems as though the convertor will not charge the battery and it has no 12VDC output. When the TT is on shore power the lights should work without a battery as the convertor makes 12VDC, correct?? The in line fuses that others have mentioned are a new one to me. I will have to look into that this weekend we I am at the property.

I am not sure I understand what is working? If you charge up the battery with your external charger, do all your 12 volt lights work after removing the charger? Also, when you say all the fuses are OK do you include the two on the converter?

You can test the converter by disconnecting the negative battery cable, plugging into 120 volt shore power then measuring voltage across positive and negative leads at the converter. No voltage means bad converter.
Good luck / skip

Either work your way forward, check 120 power to the converter, (it's on a breaker), then if that is there check the output terminals of the converter, then if that is good, check at the battery to see what the voltage is there; or work your way backwards, check at the battery to see the voltage there, then the converter terminals, and then the input.

Recently my converter was producing full power, but the wires connected to the output to the battery were loose resulting in a hot white wire (that's how I found it), so check that first!

OK. What Too Tall said. I have my ins and cons reversed.

Inverter DC to AC Converter AC to DC

Is this an inverter/charger? Or just a converter? (Because it's not an inverter)
