Symptom: Blown fuses: Possible causes, Tremendous overload of converter, Batteries shorted, Batteries installed backwards, Dead short on electrical system. NOTE: A well designed converter will self limit current and only the batteries backward will blow the fuse. But not all are that well limited.
Fuses replaced and holding. Good
Hot wires indicates heavy current.. Again batteries shorted, or very very very low and upgraded from the original batteries in the RV so they suck more amps than the RV is designed for WHEN THEY ARE THAT LOW.. (Solution is charge them).
Converter running all the time: Working as designed, it should run all the time
CONVERTER FAN running all the time: HOT, indicating either
1: COnverter working hard
2: Sunlight on my converter makes it hotter
3: It's hot out
4: Multiple of the above are correct.
