Weird thing is,...

Where though do you fill the hot water tank?
I know how to fill the fresh water tank, by flipping the lever from 'flow' to 'fill', but I haven't ever tried to just fill the hot water tank.

Circling back to this issue.
We put in a new WFCO 55 amp converter, model WF-9855, on Sunday afternoon. It's not as big and shiny, or as fancy, as the 100 amp WF59-68100A, but it seems to be just...

Should I expect the batteries to go down since shore power is disconnected, so no recharging from the 55 amp converter?

I don't know what a battery cut off is, so I'm not sure if we have one.
Inside the coach in the circuit panel there is a breaker for the converter. That hasn't ever tripped on us. By the batteries...

Raptor 100 amp power converter
It appears the power converter has gone bad in our 2017 Raptor.
It came with a 100 amp deck mount.
We're full timers and connected to 50 amp shore power all the time.

The wires on the EZ-Valve are 18 gauge, and would run about 8-9 feet from the battery to the valve location or 15-16 feet from the fuse panel.
