I have lights in my 5th wheel but no a/c, fan, etc with 120v. Breakers are not tripped in the rv, fuses are okay visually...This all start with a tripped breaker in the house...I have since went to 2 other rv hook ups and still no power other than lights. Should I go ahead and purchase a new converter? Thanks in advance for any help.

No, the converter is not responsible for supplying AC power - it makes 12VDC out of 120VAC.
You need to make sure there's power at the pedestal. Keep in mind that people will often shut the breaker off in it when they plug in or disconnect.
Plug another appliance in to the pedestal or get a cheap digital multi-meter and learn how to use it (it's easy!).
