Our Keystone Sprinter has a strange problem. A couple of years ago, I added an AC Ammeter and voltmeter so we could monitor usage/supply. Whenever we set up, we usually level, connect power, water, etc, and then slide the two slides out. Ours are driven by a common 12V hydraulic pump. We've noticed that when NOT connected to shore power, everything seems fine. Slides go in/out well. Likewise, when connected to shore power, but I can see the AC current climb to about 12A when the slides are moving. Also, there is the unmistakable scent of something hot coming from the converter. My first thought was that the battery couldn't carry the load, but the slides work well without shore power, so I figured that wasn't the problem. Has anybody else noticed similar symptoms? Thanks for any suggestions.
