When you say your battery reads "Good" what meter are you using. The battery meter that came with your rig is practically worthless and if your using that as a basis for your concern then stop.
Further - unless your converter has been changed/upgraded you likely have an old Magnatek which are lousy - slow to charge batteries. Also - what type of battery did you install - your rig probably came with a type 24 battery which is pretty small and good for about 3 or 4 days of dry camping.
Not sure - but it's possible that things are working as designed.
I am using the in-'home' meter that registers whether the battery is good.... I was under the assumption it put a load on the battery to determine status... now I'm guessing it's based on voltage (which on a deep cell may not change much until nearly drained). I was in the middle of the woods and only had minimal tools... no battery tester on hand.
Yes, I replaced it with another 24M as there isn't a lot of room.
guessing, yes, the convertor is original.
4-5 days of 'dry' camping is what I'm guessing we did... with that said 28 hours is a LOT less time than 4-5 days.....
and of course this means chasing down the specific issue(s) with this motorhome. May end up adding a 2nd or 3rd battery in the kitchennete to allow for sustained useage.
