Fixing Keystone's poor engineering
I have the RV in my sig, a quality product (sarcasm) that has so far suffered a broken frame where the pin box connects to the RV frame (scary) while driving down the road, and now a failed converter....

After replacing the converter with a new one, I took the time to hole saw some ventilation holes in the cabinet and cover the holes with the same small louvered covers that they use to vent battery boxes. It turned out ok.
Looks great - good mod indeed. In my RV, the back of the converter is open to a large area which is actually also open to the cupboards under my kichen cabinet, so I don't think that overheating should be much of an issue.
To the other posters wondering why you might want to replace the converter with another of the same type I can only suggest to them that nothing is there to say that - other than failure due to heat - there is anything wrong with the converter used and hence the replacement. That being the case, replacing with the same converter AND improving ventilation should effectively resolve the issue.
