When I see posts like this, how come NOBODY ever questions HOW Jayco connects the wire to the Battery? I am talking about a 30 amp ATC fuse holder with 14 gauge wire pigtails.

You need to replace the input fuse system to your battery also. Jayco runs a 12 gauge wire from the positive battery post 2 feet to a 14 gauge 30 amp ATC fuse with the pigtails about 4 inches long in and out. Also, I don't think Jayco runs a dedicated GROUND wire to the Converter. The ground goes from a Chassis frame stud below the Converter area to the Frame. Doug
