Hi all, I have a 2007 Cherokee Lite by Forest River travel trailer that I am wanting to swap out the power converter. The current one works fine, but I am wanting to upgrade to use lithium batteries in the near future.
My problem is that the current power converter is a distribution panel converter and I was able to pick up a modern (new) deck mount converter for next to nothing. Obviously the two aren't a straight swap. The AC in the current distribution panel converter hooks up via 3 wires, white, black green. The new deck mount has a typical 110v 3 prong plug. The trailer doesn't have an outlet behind the distribution panel to plug the new one in, so my thought was stripping the plug down to it's three wires (confirmed, white, black, green) and hooking it up to the distribution panel the same way the current one is hooked up.
Will I run into any issues or problems doing this? Obviously don't want to start a fire and burn my travel trailer to the ground.
