MagneTek 3240 replacement
My converter in my '95 Sunnybrook TT has started intermittent humming and the lights are dimming. Based on what I've read, this means the converter is probably going bad. Correct? I have a MagneTek...

Yes, more than likely, a bad converter. You will probably want to assess the health of your battery at the time you replace the converter. Any auto parts store will load test the battery.
I have a Progressive Dynamics converter. It is 44 years old and still working fine. I have no other recommendation.
If you contact Best Converters and ask to speak to Randy, he will give you the model # and pricing on a converter replacement that won't involve replacing the distribution center.
Good luck with your 12V issues. I would replace that Magnetek sooner rather than later. It may be stressing things connected to 12 V.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed, as DW and I are headed out tomorrow for a weekend getaway. I do keep my battery switch turned off most of the time, just occasionally charging it with the converter. So hopefully no problems there. I will make sure the battery is charged good with my charger before our trip (my TV charges going down the road, too, if I have the battery switch turned on). If the converter failed completely, the fridge and water pump, and a light or two, will need that power. I can run our ceramic heater off an extension cord. The state park we're going to has 20/30/50 amp at each site, but no water. So I need the pump.
