The converter in my 2010 3055 Bighorn doesn't seem to put out full power. I noticed this when I was at home and plugged in that my interior DC lights would gradually go dim and my battery monitor would drop to the lowest reading. I checked all my circuit breakers and none of them were tripped. I did some troubleshooting and came up with the following reading.
With my converter hooked up and my batteries fully charged my voltage measurement at the battery was 13.25 volts.
I turned my converter off and my voltage dropped to 12.5 volts. I turned on some of my DC lights an the voltage slowly (10-15 min) dropped to 11.2 volts. I tuned on my converter and my voltage at the battery jumped to 14.4 volts. Within about 5 seconds the voltage was around 12.5-13.25 volts which indicates that my converter was working. It charges my batteries back up. I did have my batteries check and they were above specs. I tried to get to the converter but the was just too much stuff in the way (I'm a big guy). I have been in Yuma for about a month with this problem, just can't use the DC lights and fans to much. I planned to have my converter looked at when I get home, just wondered it anyone had any ideas.
Thanks
