Another update in case anyone else runs into my issue.
Once I got the 12 volt system back on, I again realized that the fan was still not coming on on my Converter Charger that has always come on to cool the system as it was charging. It would always run for a minute and then shut off once the batteries were back up to par.
Here's what I found out after more continuous testing of everything.
Once I unpluged from shore power the old batteries were testing full charge but two days later would be dead.
Everytime I checked them they would at first show full charge. Then on day 2 nothing. So here I think there is one of two things wrong here.
1. Something is drawing the batteries down that I haven't found yet or
2. I had bad batteries.
I bit the bullet and bought new batteries and as soon as I hooked them up I had lights and when I plugged it into shore power the fan on the charger started running again.
So it now is up and running and if you run into this just take your batteries to be tested. I guess even with a bad cell they will sometimes give you a false reading!!
Problem Solved!
Thanks for the input to all.
