[VAC] Re: Univolt vs modern power supplies
Airstream purchased panels with a covering. They had no control what kind
paneling was underneath.
On the other hand, there have been a number of prior owners, that installed
coverings.
Lets not blame Airstream on one hand and then fight over buying one on the
other.
They must be doing something right, but in the opinion of some, Airstream has
always been a dismal failure.
Perhaps those select few would be happier with a Shasta or maybe a tent
camper.
It then would be rather difficult to pick on a product that back then had
next to nothing for equipment.
Airstream's success goes along with being an "innovator." That creates within
itself a huge area in which to make mistakes. I personally think that for the
last almost 70 years, they have been "the" leader in their field, and always
will.
If Airstream felt that the Inteli-power converter was better than the
"univolt", they would have used it, especially since it's cheaper.
