1989 Southwind Electric
I have a 1989 Southwind 30E that is having some electrical problems. The RV has 2 Air Conditioners with a front and back switch when you use the 30 amp shore power, but allows you to use both when run...

Since the OP's other thread got closed for multiple posting, I'll move my two cents worth, over to here .....

I have 2 A/Cs on my rig. I can run 1 at a time when on shore power by using a A/B switch and both when on the generator. My question is where and how is the done? At the convertor or in the control box. I am having a problem with my a/c and this maybe my problem. Thanks
Whatever the problem, the best way to mod the rear ac, is with a dual power adapter, so that you can run the rear ac on a separate pedestal circuit when on shore power, instead of the PITA procedure of switching back and forth. RLS7201 has pretty much shown this and the instruction manuals not only explain how to do this with whatever your setup might be, but also include diagrams showing the different versions and what you're now looking for with the selector switch.
PM me with an email addy and I'll send you a zip file with everything that I have on this.
Your power converter is another story and if original I would just replace it with one that is much more efficient and easier on the the batteries, as well. I have a recommendation on this as well, if interested.
