Johnathan, I am sure you will get different responses than mine regarding your question (above post), but in the seven years of absolute flawless operation of our 1996 Dodge RT Popular (318 engine), I never even touched that converter. I knew where it was and examined it out of curiosity once, but I never touched and had to touch it for any reason. I just used the wall monitor switches.
We kept this unit like new in a garage and maintained it very, very well. The only real maintenance problem RV wise we had to replace the battery pretty often. It was a bit of a pain to get to, at least ours was: under the bed on the driver's side. I recall a little panel had to be removed and you pulled it out vertically. Candidly, I use much better power management techniques now and just replaced the batteries for the first time in our current RT. Got six plus years and only replaced them because we boondock a lot.
Sounds like you have put your new unit in tiptop condition. I bet you will have many happy miles with it.
