You know....sometimes some of you can destroy a post with stupid information. What Doug posted is accurate for about 99% of the RV's on the road. Then someone comes along and says his 1948 Shasta trailer conversion with a 63 Buick chassis doesn't work that way. DUH! Some will go out of their way to prove someone wrong when the rest of the group understands that most information is generic to the AVERAGE RV, not some old style charging system that is no longer around.
Even worse.....the statement below is absolutely useless and a prime example of taking a simple statement to help others understand to the EXTREME!
"Sorry Doug - a converter/charger does not make energy...it changes energy from one form to another. A generator makes energy. A battery makes energy. By definition. I'm an EE and have worked in the power industry for many, many years. If you want to think that a inverter/charger makes energy please go right ahead, but that's not correct."
I haven't been on this forum for quite awhile because of this type of stuff. Doug goes out of his way to help others, yet those who never post anything to help, are always there to criticze.
Sorry DSPD Don, but when someone makes a post that is not accurate in my thread (I'm the original poster with the question) I can and will correct it. If you want to start another thread about the topic go right ahead, but I do not appreciate your comment, nor is it helpful. And by the way, my statement above that you quote is indeed accurate.
