I take exception that WFCO takes a good design and then scrounges cheap parts and assembly.
Only a IDIOT would place a 320F vertical ceramic power resistor and place it one half inch from a high value capacitor. No engineer meaning authentic electrical o electronic engineer would produce such a design. Laughable? Grab your sides. The cooling fan is is 10" distant on the other end of the board from three vertical resistors, two transformers, and two power chokes. 95% of the the thermal radiating components of the WFCO. And fan air current can barely be felt on the other end.
Mass produced motorhome and TT OEMs would sell their mother for a nickel.
Bottom line. Familiarize yourself with common new rig chronic problem components. Examine your prospective purchase. If it contains "problem children" either avoid the rig, or at least know you'll have weak links that will need to be monitored.
