Re: Electrical/ converter issue
Final update: My brother, who has considerable electrical experience, examined my problem. He discovered one of the battery cable connectors was never properly crimped (it came loose in his hand). After repairing the cable everything seems to be fine. Now I owe him a favor lol.407Views0likes0CommentsRe: Electrical/ converter issue
Update: I reviewed my insurance and I have an extended service policy that covers converters. So all I have to do is bring it to my dealer (free) or a licensed repair shop ($50 deductible). As I recall, the policy was expensive, but runs 7 years and covers most equipment failures. I will be using the camper this weekend but will be on shore power. I will minimize the use of interior lighting. I hope that avoids any issues, then I can bring it in for repair next week.407Views0likes0CommentsRe: Electrical/ converter issue
I just brought the battery in to be checked. It is almost new. He said it showed 12.5 volts. He put in on a full load 500 amp(?) and it worked fine. (It was 500 something) I have no idea what kind of converter I have. I don't even know where it is.407Views0likes0CommentsElectrical/ converter issue
I suspect a converter issue but I need help. I have been having this issue since I accidentally left some lights on for several days in the camper, although I was on shore power. My battery indicator light shows a weak battery, however I had the battery checked, it is fine (new battery, almost 13 volts). My converter fan does not work. All the lights do work, but they don't come on right away, takes a few seconds. I thought maybe I shorted out the fuses when I changed the battery, but the 2 40 amp fuses are fine. From what I can gather I may have low voltage coming from the converter and need to replace it. I am not confident in fooling with the converter, checking voltage etc. and will just take it in for replacement if that looks necessary. Am I on the right track?1.9KViews0likes15CommentsShower upgrade
I have a 30" corner shower in my Copper Canyon. There is space in the bathroom for a larger shower which I would dearly like to have, especially for long trips. How difficult would it be to remove the glass (plastic) walls and replace them with a much roomier shower curtain? Anyone ever tried this, or replaced the shower completely with a larger one?1.3KViews0likes3Comments
