How have you determined that its not charging ?

If the voltage output is low, try unplugging the battery temp sender. Its one of the phone jack plugs.

When the temp sender goes bad, it can signal high temp in the batteries and lower the voltage.

What Twinboat says worked for mine.

When you get it fixed let us know. It kinda sounds like me!

I put a small heater in the compartment just below the inverter charger and it didn't make any difference, I tapped the 25amp breaker repeadidly several times and it started working, I think but not certain that in the cold the 25 amp breaker malfunctions, the button on the breaker doesn't feel rite, I'm sure I can get a new breaker for this so that's my next move
