[VAC] Univolt



O Great Grandfathers....

I seem to be having my share of Airstream systems
problems all at once this month.

My converter was cycling on and off repeatedly, so I
consulted my owner's manual, and it stated it may be a
problem with the battery.  I checked my battery, and
the electrolyte levels in the battery cells was
basically nonexistent, so I added distilled water and
made a mental note to do more routine battery
maintenance check ups.  Now, the converter has stopped
functioning except to emit a low humming noise. There
is no AC power at the convienence outlets and I'm
pretty sure it's not charging the battery either.  I
checked the fuses on the converter, and they looked OK
to me, but what do I really know anyway (about fuses
at least).

So in your infinite wisdom, the great tribal elders of
the Airstream world, what could the problem be?

Thanks in advance for your help
