Locate the CONVERTER. There are two automotive 40 amp fuses on the bottom of the converter that protect reverse polarity. If these are good, your converter is probably bad. Temporarily you can hook up a battery charger to the battery and you will be able to complete your trip.
Also, make sure the wire lugs are tight entering the converter. Mine were loose and caused some arching and shorting, blowing the fuses.

The fuses are to protect the converter from reverse battery polarity. The battery was hooked up in reverse that's what my book says anyway
