K, I've done a little more research and pulled some panels off.
-Doing a little testing, not exactly sure this is a good test, but I am plugged into shore power currently, the system is to my knowledge supposed to continue running all power to fridge, fan, plugs, lights etc, all off the shore power. To test, I unplugged my 12v cables from the camper to the battery and all power turned off except for the 120v plugs. Is this right or is something not working correctly? I was assuming that being plugged into shore power was both powering my stuff as well as trickle charging my house battery, which it isn't doing that either.
Nick, that is a valid test for your converter/charger - it should power everything and charge the battery from shore power. The converter probably has its own AC circuit breaker and plug on the back of the AC/DC distribution panel.
My converter had a blown fuse. I had to remove the converter from the channel to find the fuse. Before you yank on the fuse, loosen a couple of small screws that hold it in place (standard automotive ATC 30 amp fuse).
