The lights are 12 volts so they're always drawing off the battery even when I'm hooked up to shore power. And the battery's always being charged by the converter. Because I'm hooked into shore power the microwave and reefer aren't putting any demand on the converter or batteries. Soooooooo, I should start by checking the batteries. Did I have that right? Thanksconvertor problemHi, I have a cougar 5th wheel which I've had for a year. It's always been on shore power except for brief periods. Until recently, the convertor has come on only rarely when I've had too many things running at once. The problem now is that the convertor has started kicking in when I turn on even one light, it doesn't matter which light. The only other electrical demand is the refrigerator. (The water heater is disconnected and has been for some time) The convertor will turn off if I turn the light off. If I have all lights off and run the microwave, which I assume draws more than a light, the converter does not kick on. Can anyone explain what is going on????? Thank you, Marie
