This is embarrassing: Magnatek failure?
I dismounted the camper from the truck at the end of Spring and lowered it onto my storage jacks for the summer. We had a round of friends visiting, 7 in all, so Jeanie and I slept in the camper a few...

This past week, I installed a Powermax Boondocker Series deck mount 4-stage converter/charger (60 amp) and two AGM UB121000 100 AH Batteries from Best Converter (Randy). The install was in my daughter's Fifth Wheel. I also installed a Trimetric 2030RV Battery System Monitor.
I have only had time to run two test, bringing the batteries by about 20 to 30 AHs. When I turned the Boondocker (charger) on, it instantly started the charge at 58.6 amps. I did not have a clock, but can say it was at that amperage for several minutes before it started dropping down. With the brief test, I think the Boondocker will be a nice charger.
If it is of any value, I was on a 100 foot 12-gauge extension cord and a 30 amp adapter. I was also running two fans. The extension cord is plugged into an outside GFCI receptacle. I had no problems with tripping the breakers or GFCI.
