As suggested by wnjj:
- buy a pack of fuses (any size up to 30A) and hook the battery positive back up. If the wire is shorted, the fuse should blow when you connect the switch, even with the positive disconnected from the converter.
Bought 25 fuse pack since the trailer eats them 6 a day...(30amps)
Disconnected psitive wire from panel, put fuse in, connected battery at switch and fuse popped.
So problem #1 - definitely still a short. Thought we'd fixed it, darn it.
Problem #2 - plug in to shore power and only 110 stuff works. Outlets are all that runs. Manually cranking up power stabilizers is the pits.
Maybe solving prob number 1 will improve prob number 2? I sure hope so...
