As an update, I had an electrician come over and replace several GFCI's as they were all kaput. Jim gave me some good advice, and I talked to Thom, my local RV fixit guy who has the converter/wizard I want and will fit, in stock, and will come to my place and install it. Good thing since it is on the ground at the moment. He says it looks as if the charge feature has been bad for a long time. The old stuff is all going. I'm even now thinking (horror of horrors) going with a large solar panel on the roof. You take the good with the bad, however, as low hanging trees will now have a 'tooth' to drag against on the roof.
This brings me to another issue. For years I've slithered through trails too narrow to pass without the flora dragging along side and above. A lot of things have been ripped off as a consequence. I was thinking of taking my telescoping limb saw bracketed under one side or the other as a quick and dirty solution to passage on overgrown routes. I've been many places where just a small limb extraction or two would have made all the difference.
