2009 mountaineer 295RWD. 12volt power loss

I'll try this again but I appreciate Phil P and CW3 Jason responding to older post.
In Gunnison, Co. last week I was having major loss of battery charge within a few hrs. Found battery in poor condition, bought new one and put it on charger. Now I have zero power to all 12v accessories. All cables correct on battery. Fuse panel has no bad fuses and no breakers in that panel are tripped. All 3 fuses in charger,converter are good. Those wire terminals tight. Still no 12 v power, only 120 power works....about out of ideas so anyone else able to help me keep my sanity! I'll be your "bud" forever.

12v DC should be provided by the converter when plugged in. I suspect you have a bad converter and this is probably what killed your old battery because the converter was not charging the battery. my other two guesses were on the other thread.

Thank you CW3jason, but I am redfaced a bit....I went back out AGAIN and looked at everything, I rechecked converter/charger, battery and fuses as well as every contact point...wiggling and tightening and when I went back into RV I discovered (to my delight) that everything seems to be a ok. I didn't think anything was loose BUT now it works fine. You must have been sending me good vibes! Thank you. Just goes to show you!
