It may be the converter, not sure about terminology.
This morning the battery died, even though we had been connected to shore power.
Should I replace the battery first and see what happens?
INVERTER uses battery 12vdc to produce 120vac to power 120v items when camped off grid.
CONVERTER uses 120vac to produce 12v power to keep the battery charged and power the 12v items in the RV.
Dead 12v system (lights etc.) points mostly to a failed converter. Need to separate the battery and converter to test/verify what the problem is. Remove the battery and use a portable charger to see if it will charge. Your 12v systems should run directly from the converter. Post converter model for best suggestions on replacement.
