We replaced our massive brick converter with a Iota 55 amp last year.  The
old one weighed 38# and the new one...maybe 2#.  You will have to rewire the
fuse block if it is mounted in the convertor.  

Check www.rvupgrades.com for the Iota convertors.

I replaced mine last year with a 45A piece, Intellicharger I think. B This
site, bestconverter, has a decent reputation among Airstream owners, and
several models of different brands to choose from. B PPLMotorhomes probably
also has some.

HI All,


We just replaced the frig and water heater in 72 Continental. Will be
getting new batteries.  We are debating whether we should get a new
converter. We have the old one that works, but I don't know if we should
worry about it with the new appliances and batteries and if the old
converter is better or worse than a new one.  Will it over charge the
batteries or do anything to the new appliances?

We think they will run $300  any advice, suggestions shopping places for
converter?

Thanks  you guys always have great suggestions.

Dave and Sherylyn
