question on the converter fan running all the time. JUST plugged in my new Forest River backpack camper to the house and the converter fan is running....has been for a couple hours today. Its not that hot out. So, I am guessing my battery was low, so I think that being plugged in will charge that battery right? Can I turn off the fan? Theres a breaker that will shut that down. Will it hurt anything?
Inquiring mind wants to know! thanks!
The fan is controlled by the load that is on the converter, not temperature. Turn off all unnecessary 12 volt items and let the converter charge the battery, it may take all day. Turning off the breaker shuts down the converter.
