I know this is a simple thing, but I suggest you loosen, "wiggle", and re-tighten all of your battery connections. I had a similar problem that turned out to be a resistance problem across some of the battery connections. The rig's power monitor showed good voltage, but under load I experienced many of the symptoms you describe.

This is something I too think should be carefully checked. A lot of connections are screw type and often are not properly tightened at the factory or have worked loose causing all sorts of issues.

I agree. I wouldn't spend the money for a new converter without making sure the wiring wasn't the problem.

Well I crawled into the storage area where the converter is mounted early this morning and checked everything that looked like it might wiggle loose. Nothing there. Then I traced the line under the chassis to the battery compartment, nothing there either.

I came across a box mounted to the outside of the battery box labeled "battery control center" with a few fuses inside, no loose wires, no blown fuses that I could tell. Looks like something to control power to the slide-out motor. But again, nothing loose that I could see.
