                      Okay so all the lighting in the rig is DC powered. This evening I hit the breaker for the DC converter and the lights went out. Makes sense.

                    I turned it back on. My partner unplugged the DC converter, which was plugged into the same branch as the breaker. The lights stayed on.

                I literally have no idea where the electricity for the lights is coming from. Absolutely zero.

              My partner writes about electricity for a living. He also has no idea, beyond magic, where the power for the lights is coming from.

            He just told me he thinks the RV is a bored sociopath who overheard him say “after this project I can go back to working outside” yesterday.

          Okay so remember how I said the lights in my rig are powered by magic? I appear to have exhausted my mana supply or something.

        This afternoon after driving for about 30 minutes, we were waiting to finish check-in at an RV park and the fridge started beeping.

      Generally, the fridge beeping means we’re out of propane. But upon parking we discovered lights were out too. Ofc—the propane control is DC.

    So, for some reason? The DC just sorta stopped working mid-drive. Checked the fuses, all intact. Plugged DC converter in, lights are back.

      Conclusion: sometimes the lights work without the converter ergo sometimes lights are magic ergo we clearly ran out of mana.
