... I assumed the battery isn't really full of life. It's probably old. Should I unplug from shore and try a new battery?
I always hate throwing money at something trying to fix an unknown problem. First I would take a look at the water level in the battery. I once had a rig where it boiled mostly away over the winter while I was plugged in. When I went to pull in the slides they did not work. I guess 13.2 off the converter wasn't enough after all without a good battery in the system.
So check the battery, top off if it's needed (Google it if you don't know the correct procedure,) then leave it plugged in to shore power overnight. Disconnect your battery and check it with the meter. Google volts for a battery and the charts will come up for state of charge. Wouldn't putting a charger on it simulate a prefect battery?
Your gas appliances have 12v gas safety features. If you have less then a certain voltage (I think it's 12.5v) the safety features will not allow them to run. So odd that all of your appliances won't work, your gas stove (that doesn't have 12v safety on it) does. So playing the odds, you need to figure out what they all have in common which is the battery.i did put a charger on the battery to simulate a perfect battery
Might not be it, but why make mountains out of mole hills in the beginning of troubleshooting.
