12 volt system problem

Readying Aliner Ranger 10 for the season & realize no inside lights unless plugged into shore power. Battery was low, so had recharged...still no 12v unless shore power. Here is what I know.
Voltmeter reads 12.91 on battery with or without shore power
Voltmeter reads 12.89 on battery when plugged into TV
No inside lights when plugged only into TV
Breakers all look fine

Will check fuses tomorrow.

What else should I do?
Thanks

    Thanks for suggestions on fuses...nice to know where to start. After seeing no lights from TV connection, I’m thinking something is stopping power FROM battery...but this is all new to me...so just working through it one step at a time. As for a switch regulating battery versus converter, thoughts on what this looks like? Button, toggle, etc. ??? Thanks!

    Look around the battery for a circuit breaker or fuse.
    Check 12 volt DC distribution panel for a battery fuse.
    Does your rig have a switch to change from battery to converter?
