First Trailer
We got our first FW, 2011 Keystone Cougar. I have a bunch of questions: Going to try snow birding, Just too cold in northern Minnesota any more!!! What type of jack do you carry, or use TV jack? Ho...

Well, my wife just got back from town with a 12 ton, short bottle jack, tried it, on a 2X12, extended it won't reach the axel, option B? I'll try the truck jack next, it has 16 in. tires so should work.
I found the converter in the basement:
WFCO 55 Amp Power converter
Model: WF 9855
Input: 105-130 VAC 950W
Output: 13.6 VDC 55 Amp
Is this a satisfactory set-up?
Back out to check-out more stuff!!!
Thanks, Dan
That converter is not very well regarded among the battery cognescenti. It is not a multistage charger and will boil out your battery electrolyte if allowed to be powered for a length of time. I'd suggest to replace just the charging portion with a Progressive Dynamics (4650, IIRC?) converter. Your batteries will last at least twice as long with a converter swap.
Jack Meyer's Electrical topics is a good place to start about RV electrical. Jack does presentations around the country about RV electrical and solar power.
Edit: BTW, buy an inexpensive hand held meter. Even if you don't know how to use one, a fellow camper may be able to diagnose a problem with a meter. One of the best tools to carry with you on the road.
X2 Edit: Where are you in MN? I'm about 25 mi West of downtown Mpls, in Shorewood. I've rebuilt my old Starcraft so have a lot of information about local sourcing and such. If you're close and send me a PM, I'll give you my phone number (if you need a hand with anything or have a question),
