I was all set to pick up my RV from the shop when I got to talking to one of the owners about my setup. We decided that he would test the converter that charges the battery from engine/generator. Turns out that it converts 5 amps per hour. Assuming that I completely discharge my new 200 plus amp system, it would take 40 hours to recharge it. Ugh.
So not only did I have low capacity to begin with, I didn't have enough charging power to catch up once I started to get low. Even a full day of driving wasn't enough to get me back up to full capacity. Once I got behind on the charging, there was no way for me to catch up.
Instead of picking the RV up today, I'm having them put in a new converter which will charge 45 amps per hour. That's another $450 out the door... worth it though if I can maintain power.
