My interior lights work on shore powerbut not with battery. Battery is charged, and brake away switch has juice, all fuses good. Any ideas would be appreciated...Thankyou

Normally reverse polarity fuse are in the converter and two of them.
One under frame protects the small amperage wire from high amperage of the battery. If this is the one adjacent to the battery, I would suggest changing it out to an auto-resetting 30 ampere circuit breaker.

Silly question, but are they 12V lighting, and not 120V?

Guessing you blew a fuse somewhere.

Use a voltmeter to track down why the battery is not connected to the lights. Good fuses does not mean they have 12V.

There should be a fuse or circuit breaker near battery
There may also be a "bat" use in the 12-volt DC distribution center.

Did you connect the battery with the correct polarity? If not, then probably blown reverse polarity fuses.

You probably have an auto reset circuit breaker (a little metal box with two terminals) in the wire between the battery and your converter. With shore power off, check to see if you have 12 vdc on both terminals. If not, bad breaker.

Do you have a disconnect switch? What position is it in?
