bad converter

[challenger1]

I have a 2008 rockwood 8313 ss pull behind camper,i have a weird situation ,the lights in my camper start flashing on and off,then kick off,but if I put more load on electricity it will stay on.what could this be?

weird thing is if ya turn on bath room fan or something else that runs off 110 ,the power (12 vlt)kicks back on for awhile with no problem in entire camper but then when ya lessen 110 devices it does it again why would this be?

Yes it is. if plugged into park power, the only thing that happens to the battery is that the converter should keep it charged. Disconnect the battery an if you have no 12V to anything, you have a bad converter.

the weird thing is the more things ya run in camper the less likely the power goes out. why would that be?

NO! The converter is there to recharge the battery. A dead battery will suck everything the converter has in an attempt to recharge.

Loose connection, bad battery would be my first two guesses. Take the battery out, fully charge it and have it load tested.
