Chet and Gary, thank you. What you said is what I believed but the service manager of a Winnebago dealership told me that no such control existed. This was before I found the original factory brochure, so I took him at his word. Thanks again.

2011 Winnebago Access model 26Q. Factory brochure says it has as standard equipment "automatic dual-battery charge control". If it is operating as designed, what exactly does it do? In particular, with reference to alternator output when engine is started.

I need help understanding what to do and how to do it! We have Dish with a Hopper 3 and are able to record shows on channel 241, Paramount Network. I would like to record future episodes of the new series 1923, but it will only be streamed on Paramount+. I called tech support at Dish and the...

On campgroundreviews.com is there a quick easy way to determine if a given park will accept reservations?

Re a motorhome on a Ford E450 chassis. Assume fully charged house batteries. When plugged into shore power, will the converter immediately jump the battery voltage from about 12.6 up to about 13.5, in spite of the fact that current flow will be very low? What about when the engine is started...

Go back to my original post. I'm still a little fuzzy on the Accuracy Error of 38mA - 45mA. If the circuit is dead via the knife switch being open, why any reading at all? If the meter is turned on and zeroed and just left away from any wires, would it register current? Why would clamping it on...

The directions for the switch specifically say for the negative terminal only. The Accuracy Error (JayArr) is what I was thinking. Thanks.

This us a new Center brand 223 clamp meter ($88 Amazon). For DC amps in the 0-10 amp range it advertises a resolution of 1mA and Accuracy of 2% +10. The Accuracy claim is what I don't understand what they are claiming. In my class C the house batteries are new 6v. They are wired up using a...

My wife started watching this on the Discovery channel and I watched a couple of episodes with her. I am convinced the whole thing is fiction for the following reasons: The large box constructed of logs they found in the cavern was core-sampled and carbon dated and supposed to be 500 years old...

Gary, yes, the rig is 30a. I cannot confirm the genny model right now as it is in the storage lot miles away, along with all the manuals. etc. It is the standard genny Winnebago was installing in class C's in the 2011 model year.

CharlesinGA is correct re the converter replacement other than the model number. It is a Progressive Dynamics 4645 (45 amp, not 55) which I ordered from Camping World. It was shipped directly to me by PD and I took it and the rig to CW for the installation.

Henry, I don't know if you are confused or just being a little sloppy in your typing. CW replaced the converter, not the inverter. I installed the inverter and the output is not wired to anything. It is in the kitchen area and we plug into it directly for coffee maker, phone charging, tv etc.

I have not tried measuring AC input at the converter - the rig is in a storage facility several miles from home. We can only park it on our driveway for a limited time (HOA), so troubleshooting is a challenge. It is a 2011 Winnebago Access, model 26Q, Ford E450 chassis, 21k miles, recently...

The converter was replaced just a couple of weeks ago by Camping World (same make and model as original). After the installation the batteries were not charging. They called me telling me they needed the key for the outside compartments as the compartment just aft of the entry door had breakers...
