I suspect the underlying issue is that the converter puts out a really nice charging voltage, but not much in the way of current, and the auto levelers need to suck down great gulps of current to get their bones moving. Now, why an inCommand electronic system would need to suck down great gulps of current is a question I don't even want to think about. Though I imagine it might be justified in doing so if it's moving a slide or something.
That's different. Yes, the leveling motors, slide motors and awning motors should not be run without a battery being hooked up and in good condition.

In this case, the assertion was that the iN-Command control panel (not a motor) was getting battery voltage even when the shore power was connected.
