Help!! Dead battery

First check the 2-40 amp fuses in the circuit breaker/fuse panel, even a momentary reverse current will blow both instantly. Next check that no circuit breakers are open. The best way to check cb's is to put them all the way off then back on.
That's all I have if you don't have multimeter.

Good Luck

PS: I'm assuming the battery is connected.

	In your electrical breaker/fuse panel are two 40A fuses. Check those. It is possible that one or both of those might be blown. If the battery was connected backward, even for a moment, those will blow to protect the converter. If those are blown, it could explain the converter not charging the battery. While you are at it, check all the fuses on the 12V side. If your panel is like mine, a blown fuse will be indicated by a red LED light next to the fuse. I don't know if that works if the converter fuses are blown though. Our R-Pod is not here for me to check.

	can someone tell me how to check and see if converter has gone bad. Battery was charged and during the night all 12 volt went dead. I am plugged into shore power and 110 things are working. Think it is converter but don't know how to check to see. Thanks!! Sara
