My RV is only three years old, and I noticed one night while hooked up to shore power, my 12v light went dim and after a few hours when out altogether. It was my understanding that the converter was to charge the batteries and supply DC power to the lights. When I took it in for repairs, they told me the house batteries needed to be replaced. I approved the replacement, but shouldn't my converter also be checked and validated since it wasn't charging the coach batteries? I read online that when connected to shore power, I really didn't need to coach batteries. The repair shop indicated they needed to perform more testing once the batteries were replaced, but I'm thinking there is something wrong with the converter. Any thoughts?
