Dutchman Astoria, bad converter?
My son-in-law thinks the converter is bad on his Dutchman Astoria 3203 BH. He's asking where it is located, and why his battery is draining down despite being plugged in to 110 from his barn. Any...

Probably the easiest way to tell is by measuring the DC voltage right at the house battery posts.
If the voltage is in the mid-13's or so, your converter is still supplying a "float" charge to it.
If it's down in the 12's, it's not getting any charge from the converter.
If it's not getting any charge, check to see that the converter is plugged into an AC outlet (assuming it's not permanently wired-in), and that it's turned on.
Also check to see that the 120VAC circuit breaker which powers the converter isn't tripped or turned off.
