2018 micro lite by flagstaff. Converter comes on when I plug camper to house but the humming of my converter turns off very quickly and batteries not getting charged. Checked all fuses and connections. Any one heard or had this issue?

there are hundreds of posts with this issue. and quite a few possible causes.

i'm assuming it has charged the batteries in the past. i'm also assuming that you have actually checked the voltage at the batteries and they are not getting recharged. and i am assuming that nobody has been working on the batteries recently. the fact that you say it hums tells me the circuit breaker feeding 120 vac to the converter is on.

possible issues:
blown reverse polarity fuses
battery disconnect switch is off
resettable 12 circuit breaker is tripped
batteries are too low for the converter to recharge them
converter failure

resettable 12vdc breaker on the inside of the hitch a-frame. It may also be on the first cross member at the front of the trailer. Some trailers have 2 next to one another. Follow the positive lead from the battery. Reset by a small button on the side.
