From what you've said I'm going to assume you're a new owner and bought it after it was winterized. So that leads me to a couple of conclusions. First your stove flame is great so I doubt it's propane. You seem to be plugged in but are a little confused on what is being asked of you. What everyone wants to see is the 12v side (RV lights) not the 11Ov (microwave, fan, etc...)
I'm going to guess that if you try your RV lights they will work, but when you unplug from shore power they will not. I think you have a battery cutoff in that rig that the old owner turned to off. When you're plugged in the converter is making 12v, but not enough to run the safety's on the propane appliances without the help of the battery being part of the overall system.
I bought it end if last season and winterized it myself. Are you suggesting that I unplug from shore and just run off 12v. Did that for a bit right when I got started and I noticed although the light would come on the overhead fan would not run when I switch fan on. It only clicked. I assumed the battery isn't really full of life. It's probably old. Should I unplug from shore and try a new battery?
