Can you post a pic of your converter (front panel opened)? I think I'm famiar with it but I want to be sure that it is the one that I think it is before I post pics and instructions.ziptie said:
Just out of curiosity...... why are you going with a 60A converter on a truck camper? Seems like a bit of over-kill....
Basically, it's pretty simple. The Progessive Dynamics Converter comes with a 110V power cord (not shown in pic) and it has terminals for the 12V connection. The PD converter can be mounted virtually anywhere. Just disconnect the 12V (converter) portion of your current converter and run a pos/neg wire from there to the PD converter.
Here are pics of 2 different installations that I did on an older Magnetek converter using a PD converter. The 3rd pic is one I mounted outside the camper (Pop-up camper). Basically, this set-up uses the converter as a battery charger. When hooked up to shore power, the converter keeps the batteries charged and the campers 12 system runs off of the batteries as normal. The pic shows the converter connected to an inverter but the inverter really has nothing to do with it (it was just a handy place to attach because the battery cables ran to the inverter).. The wire could just as easily be run directly to the battery.

Gee.... you'd only be the 2nd GM Dealer that I ever heard of that could turn a wrench (My Dad being the 1st). He sent me to GMI from '69-'73 (Dealers son program). It was great. Those were hard times and dad had to close the dealership in '76..... I got hired on by GM as a Service Rep but ended up taking a job as Service Manager in a large Chevy dealership a few years later (it paid way better). I've gotta be honest though.... I don't miss the car business....ziptie said:
