Gas Alarm / no 12v

Early AM - gas alarm is beebing - no 12v lights. Fridge had e3 error. Temporary fix - plugged in to truck. Unit on 50 amp service. 120v items worked like clock on micro. Alarm stopped and lights worked.
Question- is it potentially a bad battery or invertor not charging battery or converter?

Maybe the battery disconnect in the convenience center turned off. Not likely a bad battery if you were plugged into AC power, as the converter would still be putting out 12 volts. Worse case would be bad converter or maybe a tripped breaker going to the converter.

Is there a dog near the unit? Dogs gas can activate the gas alarms.

Well - after a new battery - it was a bad connection in the frame with ground bolt.

I think the converter is not charging battery. New battery went dead.
