Power converter on the move
Last fall we decided to upgrade to a larger trailer from our 20' Komfort Lite 5th wheel. We purchased a 2004 24' Fleetwood Pioneer. I immediately started upgrading and updating. Next on the list is the power converter.
Our batteries were dead, so we bought two 6-volt Interstate's (GC2-XHD). While hooking up the batteries, I was going to rewire the converter to a heavier gauge wire (current run is 8 awg), but was encouraged (by my stepson) to move the converter and possibly buy a new one. Our current one is a WFCO WF-8835. I'd like to buy a Power Dynamics 9260. Whether I keep the old or buy a new, I need to install it nearer the battery rather than 30' away.
The best place appears to be in the bedroom along the front wall. Figured I could box it in to protect it. Am concerned about jumping in without finding someone who has done this who can advise me. Thanks!
