:) It was actually bad before that, it wouldn't even run two LED lights. I have converted all of the interior lights to LED. I tried a lot of things (including the slides), but walking and and flipping on the light switch was first. One set will come on (very dim though), but not two, and again, it doesn't have enough current to operate the LPG leak detector and a set of LED lights as the LPG leak detector goes from green LED to red, to out, when I flip on an LED light switch. Also, it gave me trouble at the end of the season last year - not charging the house batteries, it was just so close to the end of the season, I attributed it to bad house batteries. I had them tested and they were marginal, so I bought new ones.
I think one of the biggest issues is good ole Keystone mounting the fan cooled unit in a closed cabinet with absolutely no ventilation. I will add a couple holes once I can find some grates to cut the holes to size.
