I would have to drop the enclosed bottom off of my new trailer to run the wire to the batteries. I am not willing to do that to a trailer that I haven't even taken possession of yet. I will be installing the PD4655V as soon as the trailer is delivered. I already have the PD4655V.

Parallax TempAssure adjusted voltages are a bit low in all conditions for expecting a fast charge from a generator. Voltage sag is also poor at full load. Fine if mostly plugged in. Otherwise PD and IOTA are better with no compensation.

If the 8355 comes with TempAssure already installed, I will return the PD4655V. If it is not already installed, I would have a bear of a time getting the temperature sensor to the battery. The converter/charger is on the wrong side of the trailer, and halfway down the length. On top of that, the belly of the trailer is enclosed, so I can't just go through the floor and fasten it under the trailer.

Hello,
The Parallax system we run does not have the optional TempAssure feature. We still find that it is a more than capable system. If you have any additional questions about this system or any other system in your new Airstream feel free to email me and I will be happy to assist you. Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the Airstream Family. Have a great weekend.

Owners Manual
Forum is being broken- trying to quote from that, but look at the optional TempAssure module, which I assume Airstream would include, given that they don't really give those things away ๐
Parallax 8300 manual wrote:
TempAssureโข (Patent US 7,245,109)
Your 8300 system may include the (optional) TempAssureโข module and sensor
cable. When properly installed, the TempAssureโข system employs technology that
allows the output voltage of the converter to be varied by the temperature of the RVโs
โhouseโ battery system. The benefit of this feature helps to provide a more appropriate
charging voltage for the โhouseโ battery system exposed to varying ambient
temperatures. For example, in cold climates the output voltage of the converter will be
increased, which results in a more fully charged and maintained battery. In hot climates
the output voltage of the converter will automatically lower, which will aid in reducing
excessive out-gassing of the battery caused by the battery requiring a lower โfloatโ
voltage.
Also with the addition of the TempAssureโข module and sensor cable, the 8300 series
converter will automatically start out in a โboostโ mode for the first 4 hours of operation
every time the 8300 series converter is powered โonโ. The output voltage of a
TempAssureโข equipped 8300 series converter will still be temperature compensated,
even while in โboostโ mode.
Your RV manufacturerโs installation may also allow you to manually trigger the โboostโ
function by pressing a switch. (optional wiring configuration)
While the 8300 series converter with the addition of the (optional) TempAssureโข
module is designed to provide a better means of charging and maintaining the โhouseโ
battery, Parallax Power Supply strongly recommends proper battery maintenance be
performed by the owner on non-maintenance free batteries following the battery
manufacturerโs recommendations.
DO NOT allow the battery cell plates on non-maintenance free batteries to become
exposed to the air. Poor battery performance will result.
Parallax Power Supply will not be responsible for battery failure resulting from improper
battery maintenance.
