OK my rig will not maintain battery charge. --The batteries are 2 fairly new type 27 --The unit has a Tripplite 1000W inverter charger --The unit will not supply 120V when plugged in nor will it...

I am looking at the Progressive dynamics inverters on Amazon, what sized unit should I get to replace the 1000W Triplite.
The PD unit is presumably a converter, and not an inverter, so would only replace the charger part of the Tripp-lite.
The equivalent unit could in theory be figured by studying the charging specs for the Tripp-Lite, which likely is not as powerful as the inverter. As a practical matter, though, for two batteries, a PD9260 would be a perfectly reasonable choice.
Again, this will not invert to provide 120V power from the batteries.
Before doing anything too expensive, double-check that all the connections are tight and sound between the inverter/charger, battery, and rest of the RV. It sure sounds to me like something might be disconnected or loose.
