What did you do to your Class C MH today???
This is always a fun thread to watch in other forums, so I thought I'd start one here.

Hi TBLMSN,
The technically correct term for a converter is an inverter. That's all. Converter is a "made up term" for RV's. It is nothing more than a fancied up power supply. A battery charger, if you would rather use that term. I agree a converter lowers the voltage and turns AC into DC (often with ripple and on a poor unit some AC leakage).
I also agree that inverters can do the opposite and take 12 volts DC, turn it into AC and raise the voltage.

Hi cycletwo,
Strictly speaking a converter is an inverter--but in RV land is always called a converter. When you call, get the make and model of the converter.
There are some inverter/chargers out there.
????????
Converter: 120VAC -> 12VDC
Inverter: 12VDC - > 120VAC
