Breed Discrimination?
Who has run into it, where and what breeds? Looking for a new buddyI like the German Shepherd but have to look at a mix with "they say" lab and american bull dog. More turmoil.

By definition restricting certain individuals based on what ever criteria is discriminatory. Our society does not allow this with people in public businesses, but no such protective laws exist for pets. The restrictions are discrimination, it's just not against the law.

WFCO should hold 13.6 volts with a good load. Bench test it.
Is there a good or bad test for converter before I lay out the money for a new one, when that may have not been the problem- Just replaced our WFCO WD-8855 with a Progressive Dynamics PD9260CV 60 Amp Power Converter with Charge Wizard. Could not be happier. Knew battery was good as we have run the slides in and out several times in storage off of the battery only, YES I have a full battery disconnect switch.

Like I said, it wasn't a complete waste.
If the old one was a simple single stage charger, then your money was well spent.
I'm about to replace mine....as soon as I can find a shop that I can trust not to screw me over. My local CW does not qualify.DReisinger wrote:
No problem just a lesson learned and you won't do that again.

But you would be wise to have the battery load tested before your trip.DReisinger wrote:

LOL, oh well. Good onya for letting us know how it worked out.- I feel so stupid, I replaced a good converter because of the battery disconnect switch in the off position. Well, now I have a battery charger for the garage

Before you do anything, you have to be sure the batteries and connections are good.
I TOLD you to be SURE the battery itself and the main connections were good BEFORE you spent money on a converter....well, a better converter wasn't money wasted but.........
Your battery is NOT connected to the rest of your system or it has a bad internal connection.
This could be because of a bad connection at a clamp, a bad solenoid or simply a battery disconnect switch in the OFF position.
If the converter was charging it, it would measure MORE than 12.6 and it would run the lights when the shore power was disconnected.- Now I am stumped,replaced the converter with a new 4 stage, battery reads 12.5 volts, when shore power is disconnected none of the DC lights work
- The WFCO is a 3 stage charger. Just not a very good or reliable one.
There is no situation where that WFCO should put out less than 13.2V. If it is, best get a replacement on order.
Still think you should fully charge and load test that battery. Using a different charger perhaps. But you're running out of time to get off the stick and replace that converter.
We can help you select a replacement, if you can shoot a photo of your existing one. Your description above makes me think it might not be built into your load center. So the links I gave you above might not be correct. DReisinger wrote:
Thanks Sam, 10.5 volts is all she puts out
Measured how.....connected to the battery or not ??
If it is connected to a REALLY dead battery, like one with a shorted cell, you might read 10.5 because of the battery.
It needs to be connected to a known good and fully charged battery to be sure it won't raise the voltage above 12.8 or so. Then you know it is bad.
