Not necessarily 13.6 VDC but certainly 13.1 VDC.
It sounds like the converter is supplying your DC loads but is not connected to the house batteries. You need to get the DC Voltmeter out and check voltage across:
The reverse polarity fuses in the DC load center/fuse panel.
The battery disconnect latching relay
The 50 Amp DC breaker near your house batteries.
Also double check the battery wiring to insure it is wired correctly.
Are you in the Saint Petersburg area?
I'll be in Largo Monday and could stop by for another set of eyes on it if you don't have it figured out by then. PM me if that sounds like an option you want to pursue.
