Good spot on the 12 VAC, Can't say I have ever seen that in an RV before. Pretty much useless for anything except incandescent lights. I hereby rescend my earier vote if that label is correctomundo...

Seems to be a popular post,lol,thanks for all the tip and this whole converter inverter thing is so confusing but i will take a betterpic of the front after. I bought an intellipower 9130 today from jubilee rv in kamloops (the price was worth the two hour drive) install will be tomorrow!

The 9130 is a good converter for updating existing systems, but it doesn't give you any AC or DC distribution or additional fuses for DC circuits as does the PD-4045, for just a few more $$ CDN

I bought a seperate 8 way 12v fuse panel and i only need one 120 outlet so i bought a fused one, the converter was $150 less then the next model up and i saved 70 going to kamloops instead of staying in Kelowna

I know you are in Canada, and that presents problms for importing elect. stuff. But.... Frank Bear sells the PD-4045 for less than $160 here:

Teardrop Trailer Parts

But all is fair in turnabout. I had to pay about $35 in import fees for $70 worth of new decals from BigFoot.
