   Also, check the ground connection between the negative battery terminal and the frame. That could be corroded. There should be two reverse polarity fuses. Check both of them. Did you have the battery disconnected? Are the battery connections tight with the correct polarity? Do you have access to another battery to set in temporarily to check (such as a 12V lawnmower or a car battery?

	Voltage at the battery is 13.5. Solar panel says it’s fully charged.

	What is the condition of the battery? If it is working when connected, the converter is likely not the issue. Verify the voltage at the battery with a voltmeter/multimeter.

	My RPod 190 started having an electrical problem when disconnected from shore power. None of the 12 volt systems work after being disconnected from the shore power. The batteries are fine, proven by 13.5 volts within the converter as well as I can hook up lamps to the inverter. The crazy thing is all the fuses are giving me 3 volts. I believe the problem is in the reverse polarity circuit, because when I pull the reverse polarity fuse, instead of dropping to 0 volts, the voltage actually raises to 4 volts. Has this ever happened to anyone before? Thanks in advance for your reply.
