Good morning Ted,
I had responded to your last post last night but when I clicked submit I had been logged out and had to relog in. I lost everything I had in my response. So here goes again.

My converter has only one fuse in the location indicated by the video I showed you. It was good. I checked to see if one may have fallen out although that is unlikely. There is a spot for only one fuse.

My distribution panel is on the side of the bed near the floor only two feet from the converter (which is under the head of the bed to which only a contortionist could get at). It has one breaker labeled converter. It is a 15amp breaker. I flicked it off and on and it didn't help. Is it possible the breaker is bad? I didn't see any fuses labeled reverse polarity fuse or something similar. I'll take a picture of it and you can see if there is something I am missing. You may have to zoom in on the photos to read them.

Since this is a 30 Amp RV I doubt there would be a 50Amp breaker nor a 100Amp fuse. Am I wrong to assume that?

As for a battery disconnect relay, I can't find anything resembling the photo you sent. My house batteries are just forward of the entry steps and sit on a slide-out tray. Both cables run through a hole in the back to the underside of the RV, exposed to the elements. I doubt they would put a battery disconnect relay under there. The negative line is fastened to the frame and the red positive line looks like it is going to the back end of the RV but is assembled with a bunch of other wiring wrapped in those plastic wraps with a slit along the length. The name eludes me right now. I'll try to follow it later today once it warms up outside.

My outside Honda eu2000i generator is now running and plugged into the shore outlet at the back. Everything is running fine with the outside generator so I have to guess the converter is doing its job. That leaves only the connection of the batteries to the Onan 4000W internal generator. The inside switch to start the generator is on the dashboard as is the Aux switch. which I have used when the chassis battery is dead to start the RV engine. So is there a fuse somewhere along those lines that may be out? Or are those switches somehow connected to the converter? There is a starter switch on the Onan. I assume they bypass the dash switches? I'll try starting from there to see if it will start. If it does, what does that mean?

I've run out of questions.
