Converter question

Man, I have not seen a converter like that since the ORIGINAL 3 amp Progressive Dynamics I had in a PUP..

As I said, I would put in a good one,, Something from Progressive Dynamics.

WHY: Well if you keep the trailer 3 years the new converter will pay for itself in batteries you DO NOT replace.. that's why.

Given a Progressive 9180 with Wizard (The Wiz is important) my factory Interstates made it to 9 years and I made a few "OOPS" type mistakes along the way.. I hope to hit a full decade with their replacements.

I agree with you on this, if I plan on keeping the trailer then yes I would invest in a newer converter that also can do batteries.

The pop up camper is pretty old and its canvas got holes all over which I patched with Gorilla duct tape. I doubt I will be keeping it much longer.

I just wanted to get the electrical working for at least one or two more camping this year then I most likely will put it up for sale.

However it is my goal to find a good used travel trailer with a bunch of electrical problem so it will go cheap then rebuilt the system since it something that my family will use for years in future.


Now I have put the converter back together and back in the camper. The lamps and water pump are working great so I will just leave it at that.

Thank you to everyone who posted feedback in this thread.

Have a great summer!
