Do you have a "kill switch" for your battery? If so, it might be flipped off, preventing anything on battery from functioning? If you are plugged into shore power, lights may work your converter, but if the kill switch is on, the converter might not have enough 'umph' to move the slides without the battery's assistance.
If there is a kill switch for the battery then the lights wouldn't work.
You miss-read. If the camper is plugged into shore power, house lights will still work because they will run off the converter, not the battery. Unplug from shore power and and everything then goes dead.
If plugged into shore power only, with no battery, the converter alone may not have enough "umph" to move the slides. Flipping the kill switch or disconnecting the battery completely will create the same results. If the battery is disconnected, the camper will continue to function off the converter (IF PLUGGED INTO SHORE POWER). But because of the power draw the slides require, the converter alone does not supply enough "umph".
This is how my Outback works. And my previous camper, although it did not have a battery kill switch, if the battery was disconnected but plugged into shore power, everything continued to work off the converter. (it had no slides).
