Converter and Furnace Questions
Hi all - first post here. Just got an '84 Allegro. Not sure what it is - NADA doesn't show a 31 footer but my insurance company does. The model number on the tag under the dash stars with M31 so I'...

FedEx brought the converter today so I popped it in. It's half the size and 1/4 the weight of the original. WOW what a difference. Furnace blowers blow with so much vigor, lights are bright. The old wiring isn't exactly where I needed it to be, but it was close enough to get it hooked up.
And, the info panel reads accurately. I guess it depends on the proper voltage to work? I noticed when I first got the RV and the batteries were dead that each position read about 1/4 tank (water, gray and black)even though I know they're empty. When I put a good battery in it, they all read empty but the propane still read between E and 1/4 even though that's empty, too. And the battery never read FULL even though the converter was plugged in. Well, propane shows E and battery shows F now.
At first I thought it wasn't working because it wasn't making any noise. The other one buzzed quite loudly. It's getting warm, though, so I know it's working. I can smell that distinctive smell of electronics getting warm for the first time, too.
One more thing to scratch off the list!
