possible bad converter
I think I have a bad converter, but wanted to post some of the symptoms and see if that's the case or if maybe I have more than one problem. So here are the facts I discovered on our last trip: 1)...

Does this mean you are using the battery without the converter, or, the converter without the battery? If I read it correctly it seems like the battery is disconnected so it is running off the converter???
I disconnected the battery but left it plugged into shore power and everything seems to work fine now.
EDIT: Well maybe I spoke too soon. Everything 120v works fine but nothing 12v works. When I try to turn on a 12v light the AC cuts out and the CO sensor faults. I'm guessing that's because the house battery is disconnected...?

This is like I was saying above. You disconnected the battery, converter puts out 13.2v and enough current for the AC control board and CO detector, but once you turn on the light it is too much current and the voltage crashes shutting off the AC (control board uses 12V) low voltage fault on the detector.
