Family of 6, living in it while their new house is being built, wintertime...so help fixing this is much appreciated. Hard to imagine a <1 year old converter being defective, but of course stranger things have happened. We'll work on it, and hopefully have a resolution to share soon.Dutchman Astoria, bad converter?My son-in-law thinks the converter is bad on his Dutchman Astoria 3203 BH. He's asking where it is located, and why his battery is draining down despite being plugged in to 110 from his barn. Any thoughts or advice is much appreciated!Re: Fresh tank mysteryI am a dumb a$$. I now see the fresh water drain, and am no longer flummoxed. Thanks a ton for the help!Fresh tank mysteryMy 19' Keystone Premier Bullet has two low-point water drains below the fresh water tank, a hot and a cold. In years past, after dry camping and while winterizing, I would remove the caps and the tank would drain by gravity. Recently, however, I pulled off the cap and got...nothing. There was definitely water in the tank, and when I turned on the pump it shot water out of the drain like crazy. Shut the pump off...nothing. I pushed a zip-tie up the drain nipple, so there is no obstruction, as also evidenced by the good flow while the pump is on. To rule out an air lock, I also removed the fill neck cap, and opened up some faucets, with no different results. I'm pretty flummoxed by this, and wonder if anyone has any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks in advance!cold TV's?A friend had to replace the TV in his 2-year old fifth wheel, and the dealer told him it was because he left the TV in the RV while winter storing it. Admittedly, he lives in Marquette, MI, but now I'm wondering if I need to bring mine indoors for the winter (the TV, not the RV!).Re: Converter abbreviations questionThanks, doug, I will look for the ATC fuse and try to kill just the radio. Soundguy, I did pull fuses one at a time...but the darn blue display light never went out! Maybe I didn't wait long enough after pulling the fuse?Re: Converter abbreviations questionThank you!Re: Converter abbreviations questionHmmm..."preference setting" not allowing me to post pics. I'll have to figure that out.Converter abbreviations questionMy Wyco (WF-8955PEC)has the following abbreviations, also (hopefully!)pictured below. I know most of them, but am wondering about the Rec/Con breaker, and the LP fuse abbreviation. I'm trying to cut power to the radio, with it's bright blue dislay light, as we are going dry-camping. The unit may be fused by 8, 9, or 11...which are all unlabeled but have 15 amp fuses in them. Breakers: Main A/C GFI Micro Rec/Con Hot Water Fuses: 1. Kit 2. Bed 3. Bath 4. Fur 5. Ref 6. TV 7.

With my borrowed Honda i2000, and the stock Interstate marine/RV battery dedicated to my sleep apnea machine, I should be good to go!
