I'd check the ground on the 12v side of the converter. Once mine was bad and I had your problem.

Also sometimes the fuses "look" good, but when out and checked for continuity, are a no go. Just a thought....

let us know what you find

I have my TH hooked up to power at my house, but only the microwave and outlets will work. None of the lights, ac or water pump will work. I checked the breakers and fuses and they all seem fine. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

If plugged into shorepower or with the generator plugged in and running, the converter(not inverter) supply 12V to run all 12V run items regardless of whether the batteries are dead, not installed or just the main switch is turned to off.
The batteries may still be dead but when on shorepower with no 12V, I'd look into the converter being the problem.
If you diconnect from shorepower and no 12V look at both converter and batteries being possible problems.

I haven't fixed it yet. I took the batteries off and I'm charging them but I'm going to get into the converter tomorrow. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for all the replies.

You need to check the converter is getting 120 volt power and 13.2 to 14.4 volts is coming out of the converter. The converter may also have some reverse polarity fuses to check.

I pulled my converter and I see some black at the base of one of the transistors so I think it maybe fried. Last time I took the TH out the batteries wouldn't charge while the generator was running.
