I still wonder why the inverter is giving 12V
He probably means CONverter.
Someone who doesn't know the difference can easily use the terms interchangeably by mistake.
An INverter is used to generate 120V AC power using 12V DC battery power. It would be unusual for a 1985 RV to have an inverter on board unless it was custom installed by the owner.
A CONverter is what plugs into shore power, takes 120V AC and turns it into 12V DC to power all the 12V goodies in your RV.
