Only if your battery disconnect is on. When in that position it does not allow the converter to charge the batteries.

"it looks good, but it is a money pit."
Yep, they all are. Toys (boats, planes, RVs, etc.) are what we buy to dispose of excess money

Welcome to the forum from SE Texas. This is a great place to get information on almost any "moving hut" repair. Good luck.

Welcome from the Midlands of South Carolina!
As an old saying goes: If it's a plaything for an adult, it's going to be trouble at one time or another. Over time I imagine that you'll find that a problem is just an adventure in how to repair something.
