"100% is from the meter, after the shore power has been disconnected."
Any solar? Same thing if it keeps the voltage above 12.6--the meters will show "full" Also while the 7-pin is connected and the engine running. Unless it is the battery fuse, depending on where the solar and 7-pin cuts into the path.
Since the battery disconnect was closed, the next culprit might be the battery fuse/DC circuit breaker on the positive post of the house battery bank being the "open."
You do need a portable voltmeter to confirm that if the converter output at the battery lugs inside the rig at the DC fuse panel is 13.6, then you should be seeing 13.6 at the battery posts. If not--you have to find the open by working back along the pos and neg paths between battery and converter.
