What about the battery?
I would also be checking the wiring from the converter to the battery and the wiring from the converter to the distribution panel. Something in the trailer is causing what appears to be a short.
The battery has not been checked yet but it charges and holds a charge when it's on the travel trailer just fine. For example we charged it up one day on the trip and didn't have to charge it until two days later and that was with using the camper lights and and everything. It seems like if the battery had issues it wouldn't hold the charge that long or the inline fuses would trip.
Also the circuit board for the converter has inline fuses on it and those have never burnt out but the two different components between the two converters have melted down. Also the other printed circuit board that holds the fuses for the different lights and accesories has never looked hot or had a blown fuse. I am really puzzled by this one.
I looked at the wiring inside the trailer and everything seemed good and tight. I couldn't find any corrosion or bad connections either. Like I said I am really scratching my head here.
