Hi Folks,
I am a newbie, so please forgive my lack of knowledge here. Is it possible my
Scamp does not have a converter and recharges the 12v system purely when the trailer is plugged into the tow vehicle?? I looked for a converter in the trailer, but all I see is that gray box under the sink, which according to the
Scamp manual, is a 120v circuit breaker. There isn't a converter under the bunk, under the dinette, or under the sink. I didn't see anything converter-like around the
refrigerator, either.
The problem we're having is that the 12v
lights start to dim and then completely lose power after several days of camping while plugged into 120v power, as though the
battery slowly dies. But now, after a five hour drive home, plugged into the tow vehicle, I just found that the 12v
lights are nice and bright again. I thought we had a converter that was malfunctioning, but maybe we don't even have a converter and the
battery is recharged by the tow vehicle while hooked up through the 7 pin-connector? Additionally, we blew the fuse under the bunk a few times and the fuse at the
battery a few times- randomly and spanning between a couple of weeks plugged into 120v. I was thinking that was related to the converter, but now I'm guessing not, since we might not have a converter.
Thanks!
