where's the converter?
Camping with our cousins and they had a loss of power beginning last night draining the battery. Have good power to the camper but nothing inside. Was told that the converter may be out but we can no...

You do need to charge the battery. You can use jumper cables from a working RV 12 volt system. You can use a portable battery charger, but set it on 12 volts not the 'start' or boost position. Most portable chargers that have a 'start' mode say to only leave in the start mode for a maximum of 30 seconds followed by a 15 minute cooling off time.
Even a 10 amp charger will fully charge the battery overnight, giving that you might be using 4-5 amps each hour to run lights.
