Charger / Converter Failure / Recommendations

The charger / converter on my 2008 Winnebago Destination failed over this past trip. It is a Progressive Dynamics Intell-Power Model PD9260C

Troubleshooting consisted of checking the outputs with both shore power and generator power. 0.00 VDC out. Trip was cut short. The Converter Status dongle shows all is well. None of the three parallel fuses are blown. So there is some internal failure between the system monitor circuits and the device output.

No idea about the warranty. I'm guessing that this is not the first converter/charger failure. The manual set shows another model, while web research revealed this model.

The only user accessible parts are the fuses. The case is bolted and riveted shut. Online research does not reveal a schematic diagram. (I am itching at opening it up, but won't if I can trade it in for repair/refurbishing)

Lessons Learned. Bring a voltmeter for troubleshooting. Bring a spare battery charger.

The drive home did charge up the coach batteries, so I am comfortable with their status.

That all being randomly said, What are your recommendations for a reliable converter/charger?

Tnx, Bob

and are very happy with it so far.
Now do you in fact have 120vac feeding the unit? Once you're sure of that, I wouldn't hesitate to drill out the rivets and see what's going on inside. I like metal screws for attaching my equipment a lot better anyway.
