New TT with some questions

I have no idea what type of convertor my trailer has. The literature/specs for ORVs is poor. Once I take delivery can I look at the convertor and easily be able to decipher what it's ability really is?

Just call your dealer and ask ... tell him you need to know the exact make / model of converter this trailer has so you can then make an intelligent decision about what you want to do about batteries for it. If he plays dumb and says "don't worry about it" then that should be yet another warning that you really need to bone up on this stuff yourself so you don't get talked into something that doesn't really meet your needs. Read that discussion in it's entirety and it should be obvious that it's not just the converter itself that can be problematic as many trailer manufacturers just don't put a lot of care or thought into wiring it. At best it might have 6 gauge wire between the converter and battery, which is barely adequate when you're talking large charging current and not adequate at all if the location of the converter relative to where the batteries are located is a long way away, such as 25' away as is the case with my own trailer. If you want to get into more detailed discussions on this there are a number of folks much better versed than I who can help you sort through this - just start a separate thread on the Tech Issues forum.
