Electrical issue

I have a 2004 301 RLS 5th wheel. It sets next to my garage and stays plugged in to 30amp plug. Went out lastnight to grab something and lights didn't come on. Checked main breaker and everything was fine. Checked the inside breaker panel in camper and found the utility converter breaker was tripped, tried flipping it back on but just keeps tripping. Ideas of issue? Thanks in advance

Agreed, the converter isn't working. Before I replaced it, I would test power going into it, coming out of it, and test the fuses specifically for it. If it's putting out a solid 13.6v, then I'd move onto the batteries..

it's tripping the breaker...how are you suppose to get 13.6 volts from it

Because reading is fundamental, my good sir. And apparently not my strong suit. I 100% skimmed past this sentence, "Checked the inside breaker panel in camper and found the utility converter breaker was tripped, tried flipping it back on but just keeps tripping."

You're right, I'd be apt to swap out the converter too due to the breaker tripping.
