  1. So I have a couple more pictures and after opening the converter, I have more questions. I’ve fount the pos and neg wires that would go into the new converter, but there are also wires running from this old converter to a breaker box. I know the progressive Dynamics converter doesn’t have connections for these wires. ( the wire set is the same as what you would wire an electrical outlet with. Would I just remove this wires when I install the new converter? Or route them somewhere else? I attached a couple more pictures
  2. If anyone wants more pictures, I can provide them just ask what you want to see and I’ll take some!
  3. I appreciate your reply but I’m still a little confused. So this converter does NOT charge the battery, it just runs everything when plugged into shore power. Are you saying I would have to add a new converter on top of this one in order to charge the coach battery? It might be difficult to wire one up considering my house battery is located under the hood, but I will make it work if that’s what I need to do. I have no idea how I would connect this converter to one that charges the battery. This kinda sucks, I feel like my converter is different than everyone else’s and it doesn't even do the job that it is supposed to. This converter is connected to all the outlets and the two circuit breakers so I’m assuming it runs all the interior lights and outlets but how do I charge the battery if this converter isn’t capable of charging it? I wish I could switch to solar but I live in the nw and it’s rarely sunny here and when camping at state parks, it’s usually under tree cover. i wonder if I switched to solar, if I could still charge my batteries with a generator if needed? Man I hate electrical lol
  4. Does anyone have experience with replacing this specific converter? It’s in an 83 dolphin. The fuse box is connected to it with the wires that run the outlets on the left side and the right side has a copper ground wire and 2 other wires connecting to the converter. I’m assuming these are the pos and neg wires? I want to replace this with a progressive dynamics converter but it just doesn’t look compatible with the way this one is set up. But I’m not sure, I have very little electrical experience when it comes to rv’s. Any replies are appreciated, thank you. See attached pics
  5. I should have been more specific, the rv is sanded down to bare metal and primed with rust oleum primer from a air powered sprayer. As far as the top coat, I am looking for specific brands or paints that would be efficient for roll/brush on application. Sparing is a pain in the butt for me so I would really like to find something I can roll on that would look decent.
  6. Anyone have experience with painting their aluminum toyhome with paint doesn’t need to be sprayed? I’d prefer to use the brush/roll methods since it seems much easier even though it may not look as clean as a spray job. What kind of paint would you guys recommend? I was looking at Shyr cryl high performance enamel from Sherwin Williams but it’s a little pricey. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Maybe a direct to metal paint or epoxy paint for boats? Thank you all! This is my first post here. Just want to say this forum is a Godsend for people like me/us who are bringing these beautiful vehicles back to like
