    There are a couple of pieces missing from this puzzle.

    Your lights and 12V system are powered by the battery and the converter when connected to shore power. Should you lose all 120V AC power, the lights would remain lit by the battery.

    I would check for a tripped GFCI device. This may be well hidden or even an exterior receptacle.

    Do you have a handheld multimeter?
