We were having issues with the original power converter and that issue was it wasn't working. Thinking that was the only issue we replaced the power converter. We installed a WFCO WF-8725 Power Converter and still the items that operate on 12 volts still does not work.
While WFCO converters seem to take a beating here on the forums for being somewhat less than "the best" generally speaking there's no reason for any current model converter to suddenly up and die on it's own, meaning there's almost always some event which caused it to fail in the first place. Simply replacing a blown converter with a brand new one without first trying to understand what caused that first one to fail seems to me to not be with wisest decision. While external conditions such as voltage surges or excessively low incoming campsite voltage can easily cause converter damage that failure could also have been caused by some failure within the trailer itself. If so, you may well have also blown this second converter IF the condition that caused the first one to fail still exists ... time to do some serious investigation with a volt / ohmmeter to determine just what is going on.
