Re: [a/s] Maintenance questions-Univolt Convertor



Thanks Jim, I have not got out to Radio Shack yet to get my volt meter but I
will on Monday. I did recharge the battery by hooking up to my tow vehicle
with the engine running for a while. The meter on the control panel (if it
can be trusted) indicates the battery charge level is good and the lights
worke fine when I uplugged from the truck. All of my fuses seem ok. The volt
meter is plugged in to 110v and is warm and has a sight hum. I have made
sure all 12 volt lights, fans are turned off. I didn't know there was  a fan
in the back of the fridge, but I will check it out.

When I started refurbishing the trailer about 3 weeks ago, I took down the
front ceiling light and fan since I am going to replace the fan blade and
put on a new vent cover when they arrive from Airstream I just cut the wire
to the light and fan at that time and put tape on the end. I also
disconnected the radio by taking out the fuse. The bath vent fan is also
disconnected at the switch in the  bath. All other 12 volt items are in tact
I believe. The  stove exhaust works fine when I have 12v power and there are
no fans in the other two vents. The only other 12v maintenance I need to do
is replace some of the running lights outside that are missing with the wire
exposed but not touching the skin. Could any of this cause an open
connection that would drain power.
