Only the AC & microwave are working on the trailer (with both generator or land connection). All the other lights, etc. are NOT working at all at any time. I changed all fuses and to no avail. Someone mentioned it might be the 12v converter?It is a 2007 Bison Stratus.Would appreciate any recommendation, direction, etc.Thanks.

OK.....if the switch is on and it still is not working, try cleaning the battery terminals as well as the ground connection where it connects to the trailer. Also check the circuit breaker near the battery....usually they reset themselves but it might be defective. You can use a test light or a multimeter.

Thanks!I'm almost sure the terminals are very clean as they are relatively new batteries and the trailer hasn't been moved since before the problem occurred but I'll recheck them & the circuit breaker.

The converter also has fuses....Is there any charge on the battery at all?
The converter charges the battery as well as supplying 12+ to the low voltage equipment.....if the fuses are blown it wouldn't be able to do either. Connecting the batteries incorrectly(even momentarily) would cause the converter fuses to blow.
