Converter humming

[KennyM]

Greetings,

Here I am again with another question, you all are the best and a wealth of knowledge. Thank you very much for all your input. We have a 2014 Road Ranger 305 toy hauler and our converter seems to be constantly humming when plugged into shore power. Is this normal? I am mostly boondocking and don't want to have an issue while out in the boondocks.

Thanks

normal operation at times you might even hear cooling fan running

Yes normal. Since you boondock, the convertor is working double time charging the batteries.

How are your batteries?
How old are the batteries?
Do the batteries last for a long time while boondocking?
Have/are you boondocked in this rig yet?

I am changing out the batteries this week, unfortunately, the guy I purchased the unit from let the batteries run completely dry and ruined them. I have not camped with this trailer yet as we are in Idaho and it is way too cold to camp and ride. I also have a 200 watt portable solar system and all LED lights so the batteries will last very well as this has been my setup in other trailers for years.

I usually run the generator to make toast in the morning and perhaps heat something up for dinner and of course if it is really hot out I run the generator to run the bedroom AC so I can get to sleep.

I only hear the humming when plugged in so I guess boondocking camping the only current is in the current bush...lol..thanks

Do you know what brand and model of charger/converter do you have? I believe that the Progressive 9200 series has a lifetime warranty, although that may not be valid if you are the 2nd owner.
