I have a 2007 36' Keaystone couger fithwheel. We took it to madi graw last year and we were on generator power. I woke up because it got cold and checked the heater. When I turned the light on I noticed that the lights were burning about half voltage. So i checked to see if the fuse was blown on the heater motor. It was fine. so for some reason I reset the main breaker in the panel and the lights came bake up to full voltage and the heater started working again. This happened twice that weekend.

Then up at the hunting lease I left the lights on and they started flukuating and every time they would fliker the cooling fan that cools the heatsink would try and kick on but it would not run. then after a while the cooling fan started running and the lights stoped flickering :confused: :confused: :confused:
My thinking is that I have a bad converter

it sounds like the convertor is defective the easiest way to check is to load the convertor up by turning all the lights on and see how long it takes to start acting funny. also check the battery for water a bad battery will take all the juice the convertor can give and cause this effect as well you can also take the battery out of the system and see if the convertor acts normally
