Thanks, everyone - I was afraid i would wind up having to swap the converter, and the Progressive Dynamics units were the ones i had my eye on - I'll want to be sure i get some equalization to keep the sulphates off the plates. After living 14 years with a terrific Heart interface Freedom 2000 inverter/100 amp charger fed by four 6V golf cart batts in my old Prowler, I know I'd never be content with a conventional converter that never gets my batteries to a decent bulk charge voltage or actually fully charges! Since I also learned that we really don't need big time AC capability away from shore power, I was pretty sure the combination of a pair of 6V Trojan T-145s, my two solar panels, our Honda Eu-2000, and a good 3 stage converter would handle our needs in the Trail Manor in any foreseeable circumstance. The minor AC loads we might want to run for electronics can be handled by a small sinewave inverter.

Going with the converter swap will be a lot cheaper than my original idea of a Magnum inverter/charger and the attendant rewiring. Anybody know what the charger amp rating was on their stock converter?

Going to the Pomona RV show tomorrow to place the deposit!
