Which picture above? The one in Post #7? I don't understand the part about being twice the size. It's not because it is a 50 amp RV as all Montanas since 2004 have been 50 amp.

I fully charged the battery and left some of the cabin lights on & will go triple check to see if in fact the converter is bad before shelling out $$$.

Is the shore power OFF? If so, the battery will discharge with no converter to recharge. Not a good test to see if the converter is working.
If the shore power is ON, then the converter should re-charge the battery (which apparently it doesn't) unless there is a problem in the 12V circuit.
Have you used a VOM to check the 12V voltage at the various places things can go wrong as described earlier? Just because you charged the battery and running the 12V system discharges the battery it doesn't necessarily mean the converter is bad.

Is there a better place to purchase these converters from? Thanks!

There are a ton of place to buy a converter. But the question is "What converter?" AFAIK your current converter (which apparently you found somewhere) has not been identified. Can you post a picture of the converter? What is the manufacturer and Model of the current converter?
