Replaced Fuse Board & Convertor

Greetings from Cape Cod on a beautiful Labor Day. I have a 1979 Sovereign Twin (?) with a rear bath. This land yacht will travel again. It now provides shelter on a very nice pond front property. The Airstream has been neglected mechnially for a while. I've replaced the Univolt and the fuse box. I have an INTELI-POWER converter. The fuse board, I don't recall the brand, is smaller, less capacity, than the original. As it no longer will travel I've eliminated both battery and exterior travel lights. Now I can't get the 12-Volt to fire up. I have 110 volts at the converter and 13 and change volts at the fuse board. I have attached photos of the installation. I'm a rookie at Airstream electrical, much better with residential systems. HELP.

It doesn't appear that you have a common / ground connection to the skin or frame of the coach.
You may have disconnected it when removing the battery.
Try putting a jumper between the white wire and a clean spot on the skin or frame.

Hi,
Is that a unit you got from best? I can see your problem but would be helpful to see the back side of that fuse board.
