Solve your issue......
Get rid of that WFCO and go with the PD
WFCOs are JUNK especially one of that vintage
IF NOT connected to AC Shore Power...strictly battery power do you have 12V DC (lights work, fridge/water heater/furnace work etc)??
IF YES....then feed to/from battery is good
IF NO.....then in-line fuse (or DC circuit breaker) on battery POS cable is blown, battery NEG cable has bad contact/connections etc
And that WFCO is JUNK
I really don't think it is that simple.
To answer your question, yes. Everything works on strictly battery power.
But I don't necessarily think that means that the to and from connections are automatically good.
Reason I say that, they are not the same connection. I have two cables attached to the pos and neg terminals on the battery. One feeds the DC distribution panel for the camper, the other is the output from the converter.
It is entirely inside the realm of possibility for the dist panel connection to be fine but the converter connection be compromised. Everything would run off the battery fine but the battery wouldn't charge from the converter very well.
Furthermore, if this were indeed the case, replacing the current converter would do nothing to fix the problem assuming all that was done was to swap converters (cabling reused).
