Converter and Battery Charging Issues

We have had the 195RB for 2 months now. It is permanently set up on our own private camping property and my only source of power is a Yami inverter generator. Everything has worked flawlessly. However, when I first fired up the generator and checked the voltage I found the battery was not charging. When I wiggled the fuse the fan in the converter started up and it went to 13.5 volts. Since then, same thing. Out of 10 times, 8 times i have to wiggle the fuse to start the charging.

Comments...advice?

Try a different fuse. Also might have a cold solder joint on the board.

Remove and reinsert the fuse. If that doesn't fix it, look for loose wire or connection.
May have to have an electrical person help you.

The main fuse panel has several circuit breakers, plus a row of automotive type fuses. The fuse that I referred to I believe was called the converter fuse, since it was the one that controlled the charging of the 12v battery.
