2000 325RL Sprinter Converter Problem
Hi all, I'm new to this forum and new to camping. I'm looking forward to learning from everyone on here.
I took my 2000 325RL fifth wheel out for her maiden voyage (at least with me) this past weekend. I hooked her up to shore power and everything worked great for the first night. The next day I lost the fridge, hot water heater, automatic landing gear and pop out power. Lights/fan worked great though.
I did some research and learned a lot about AC vs DC power, so I charged up my battery when I got home (which was completely dead). With a fully charged battery, I got everything back and it worked great.
From what I can tell, the converter isn't working right because the shore power (AC) should've been charging the battery (DC) to keep everything working.
I wAs going to just swap out for a new converter, but when I popped the cover plate off, it wasn't a self contained converter that I had saw in some of the YouTube videos I had found. I don't know how to go about testing it or replacing it for the matter. I attached a pic.
If anyone can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
