Does this mean you are using the battery without the converter, or, the converter without the battery? If I read it correctly it seems like the battery is disconnected so it is running off the converter???
I disconnected the battery but left it plugged into shore power and everything seems to work fine now.
EDIT: Well maybe I spoke too soon. Everything 120v works fine but nothing 12v works. When I try to turn on a 12v light the AC cuts out and the CO sensor faults. I'm guessing that's because the house battery is disconnected...?

I know this is a simple thing, but I suggest you loosen, "wiggle", and re-tighten all of your battery connections. I had a similar problem that turned out to be a resistance problem across some of the battery connections. The rig's power monitor showed good voltage, but under load I experienced many of the symptoms you describe.
This is something I too think should be carefully checked. A lot of connections are screw type and often are not properly tightened at the factory or have worked loose causing all sorts of issues.

I agree. I wouldn't spend the money for a new converter without making sure the wiring wasn't the problem.

To me that indicates the battery, not the converter, is the problem. If you would, measure the converter output voltage and the disconnected battery voltage.
