converter on or off

How can you tell if the converter is on or off?
  • If it's up by the TV I don't think it's the converter..I'm talking about a converter that takes 120 volts AC and makes 12volt DC. Is this what your talking about??
  • Check the battery voltage. If close to 13.6 or rising the converter is on. If voltage is 12.7 or less and dropping the converter is off or not functioning.

    I could be wrong as I don't have a Winnebago but aren't you talking about an inverter. I thought my friend had an Adventurer and he said that his inverter was up by the TV. It would not be the first time I was wrong. Gary
  • The converter/charger? If your plugged into shore power, it should be on. But depending on the coach, you could have some type of power management system that has tripped.

    But the TV converter???
