Thats what I was thinking and thats the way I had it installed.About four years ago, the refrigerator wasnt working and blinking a code. I took it in for service and they replaced the battery and the fridge worked fine. The fridge again quit working so I replaced the battery about a month ago but the battery died within a few days. I thought maybe the inverter was bad and replaced it. Checking a day later, the battery was dead again. I dont know...

There are either two or three auto reset circuit breakers in red plastic covers mounted to the front of your travel trailer (they are inside the battery storage compartment on fifth wheels). You may have a circuit breaker that quit working or that will not reset causing your battery not to charge. Testing those circuit breakers is a simple matter of using an ohmmeter. If they are not working, or won't reset, replacements are available at NAPA, AutoZone and most other auto parts stores. Also, there are two 40 amp fuses (green maxi fuses) located inside the front panel of your converter. Usually they are alongside the 12 VDC fuse panel. One or both of them may be blown if someone happened to hook up your battery with the positive and negative terminals reversed.

I am going to delete your other post on this topic as it is a duplication of this question and the responses seem to be "congregated here"
