jayco designer series pop up questions
Hey folks, I recently bought a pop up trailer and am opening it up to go through. I tried to plug in the electrical line to my garage to use the lights, fans etc while at the house. After plugging in...

It's possible but still somewhat unlikely that the Elixir converter is yet the problem.
Have you tested anything else that is 12v powered, such as the furnace, water pump or refrigerator on DC power?
If those devices work, then you're likely looking at a break in the wiring going to the ceiling. If they do NOT work, then maybe the converter is the culprit.
You've still got some troubleshooting to do.
That said, my Elixir 20 died on me a few years ago and I replaced with what was basically a direct swap-out (it is even sold as such) which was the WF8725. It's a slight increase in the amps provided (20 amps of the Elixir vs 25 amps on the WFCO), but it fits the exact same hole in your cabinetry as the Elixir.
WF8725 model for $100 plus shipping. There are better/bigger models out there to replace the Elixir with but this would be my starting point if you end up needing to replace it.
At this point, I still feel like it is in the wiring somewhere. Do you have a multi-meter? Time to pull it out and see where you are and are not getting 12v DC power.
It's a good sign that you have 120v AC, though. It let's you work at night...which I often do.
