Electrical/ converter issue

I suspect a converter issue but I need help. I have been having this issue since I accidentally left some lights on for several days in the camper, although I was on shore power. My battery indicator light shows a weak battery, however I had the battery checked, it is fine (new battery, almost 13 volts). My converter fan does not work. All the lights do work, but they don't come on right away, takes a few seconds.

I thought maybe I shorted out the fuses when I changed the battery, but the 2 40 amp fuses are fine. From what I can gather I may have low voltage coming from the converter and need to replace it. I am not confident in fooling with the converter, checking voltage etc. and will just take it in for replacement if that looks necessary. Am I on the right track?

Make sure your battery is fully charged first. Voltage in the low 12's is nearly dead. Also post the make and model of your converter.
