Need some help with RV fuse panel

I just noticed that the 2-30 amp fuses on the top of the pnl were blown. I replaced them and flipped the battery switch on and they blew again. What is going on? Thanks.

The top two should be the main feed for the converter. Sounds like the converter is having a problem. Depending on how old it is, might be a simple card replacement. Write down your converter info and contact a RV parts/repair center.

I am a Rv tech and the two fuses in question are for the output of the converter to the battery. You need to check 3 things. 1st check for proper connection at the battery + and - . Second a short on the positive wire to the battery. Finally check your battery does it have water? Does it look pregnant (swolen). Hope this helps.
