This was the case throughout our recent journey to the southwest.
So now, I'm looking for converter replacement solutions.

I am also researching converter and inverter options. Im leaning towards the Victron multi plus. Is a charger/converter/inverter. When your not connected to shore power it automatically turns on inverter power. It has smart charging capability, it can charge any battery type, and you can program which type of charge you want (maintenance, float, etc). From what I have heard, it charges very quickly.
The install seems pretty straight forward, you run the power from the shore power to the multi plus and then to the distribution center. It illiminates the OEM charger.
