Another 12v question

Battery is new, charged, checked, with volt meter, and control panel, but nothing will run off just battery. Fuse in battery box appears to be good, any suggestions?

Is there an inline fuse just outside the battery?
How about the fuses in the panel inside?

If all that is good, take the fuse/circuit breaker panel out and check for fuse(s) in the side of the converter.

My trailer has two black wires that connect to the battery. One charges the battery, the other powers the 12 volt in the trailer.

The fuse on the battery looked ok, just checked with meter, it had blown, headed to Walmart for a new one

Hopefully many will learn from this Never just look at a fuse and assume it looks good. To me that is like trying to start your car and you hear a click and it doesn't start. Would you just open the hood and look at the battery and say it looks good?? Or would you test it to be sure? Same thing for fuses. Always best to test to be sure.
