Re: [A/S] 1972 power converter is out



I know I am going to receive some static for this but when I  bought my 65 
trade wind some years ago the power converter was dead I simply  bought a 0-10 
battery charger.I wired a plug into the circuit where the  converter was wired 
into connected to the battery an and lived happy with this  setup every since 
I now have 2 Optima batterys and the trailer is always on  shore power as it 
sits in my side yard because I like to keep my fridge and  deepfreeze on and 
also an elect fan running to keep fresh air flowing I also  leave a couple of 
lights on and my volt meeter reads a constant 13 volts.This  works for me and I 
didn't have to spend big bucks for a converter.
