Power converter issues?
I am having issues with my 12vdc lighting. As I setup at my campsite I connect to shore power if I turn on a lot of lights they flicker, or a better term would be pulsate, I have been researching this and today I checked the battery voltage after disconnecting it from the camper it read 13.3 vdc, I checked the charging wire from the converter to the battery it read 13.6. With the battery disconnected I tried turning on some lights and they did similar as prior, flicker, I then connected the battery back up and checked all connections and tightened them up, with all the lights on the voltage dropped all the down to around 9vdc and the fan was making noises.
I have the wfco 8955 series unit
Checked voltages with a rms DVOM
Does this pretty much indicate a failing converter?
It is making me nervous this converter is ruining other things such as my dometic fridge
On my last trip I woke up in the early morning to the fridge clicking and the "check" light coinciding with the clicking, I went outside and checked the voltage at the receptacle for the fridge and had 110, but it was trying to light the gas burner, so my question is if the doc power is failing would the explain the fridge not wanting to utilize the a/c for operation
