Problem with Progressive Dynamic Converter
Hello, I am new to Open Roads Forum. I have owned a 99' Fleetwood Bounder since new. I am curious to know if other members have experienced charging problems with their Progressive Dynamics AC to DC...

Again, thanks all for the comments. FYI the converter I am replacing the PD with has bulk and float charging features. After all these years dealing with discharged coach batteries I decided to try something different.
FYI My Bounder has a Intellitec battery control unit. The charging circuit will charge both coach and chassis batteries. If either voltage goes above 13.3 V for more than 14 seconds the isolator sol. will pull in allowing both chassis and coach batteries to charge. If the voltage of the chassis battery falls below 12v for more than 4 seconds the isolation relay will open keeping the alternator output available for the chassis functions.
All of the functions above work as they should. My only issue is that the PD Converter fails to maintain a charge on the coach batteries when hooked to shore power. Hopefully the converter I intend to replace the PD converter with will correct the problem. I will post the results next week....
I am anxious to get back on the road to my favorite vacation spots in the NW US this spring....
