Normally the furnace runs off of 12 volts from the battery. It's the converters job to recharge the battery. Likely the converter can't keep up with the 12 volts draw from some reason. Either the converter is defective and isn't charging the battery properly or the battery is defective and isn't accepting the charge.
Actually the furnace will run with no battery at all as long as it is getting "12v" from the converter.
Interesting idea about whether the converter can run the lights (they get brighter when he plugs in shore power), but maybe not enough to run the furnace (or the furnace in addition to the lights) The furnace only draws about two light's worth though.
I am not sure my notion of a 6300 split DC panel where part of the panel isn't working is a valid idea or not.
