You have the cable right there. Don't you see it? Aint no cable that goes from the 24 volt slave receptacle on the cab to the 110 volt input on the van.

There's definitely no power going to it.....the only thing going from the truck to the box is the diesel line for the box heater

There is a connector sticking out of the van that is about as big around as your thumb with wires coming out of it, that leads to the 24 volt power on the chassis. Trace it out and see why no 24 volts is getting back there.

The big plugs are to feed the van circuits from a remote power source. Not 24 volts

No 24 to 115 converter. What is on the wall in the van is a 115 to 24 converter. So you can run the 24 volt lights with the engine off from 115 volt shore power.
