Power problem

Out for the weekend and had power issues. Ran on battery and generator, not using the generator full time. While on battery everything died, no power at all. Turn generator on and have power. Charged battery, still no power, nothing. I've been told it's probably the converter?

What are you trying to run via battery? If the battery is charged and hooked up, you should have lights, fridge (via 12v & propane) water heater, and radio. Plugs, TV, AC are all 110 and require a generator or to be plugged into electrical or possible an inverter.

Battery is fully charged, just not doing anything.

Is there a battery disconnect switch? Mine is located under LP tanks.

Have you checked for an inline fuse for the battery?
Also check the fuse to the inverter.
Another possibility is that a wire is corroded/off to/from battery or inverter...

I don't think Cherokee TTs come with a factory battery disconnect switch.

breaker

Check under the frame for an overload breaker. Mine was under the front left of the camper frame. Not the tongue frame.
