Hi Kevin;.. You won't be disappointed with your decision..

I replaced a heavy... bulky... old 35 amp converter with the 60 AMP
PD with the smart thing...I am am sooo happy with it.. virtually
silent!! It is located under our bed...

Neon John referred me to a site on reconditioned PD products.. same
warranty, everything.. significant price reduction.. It has been
doing a wonderful job for over a year now..

Here's a neat point on these converters..

When we had the thread on the cheap Chi-Com gennies for 99 bucks, I
bought one of them... the little *** just snorts a bit and runs
the PD 60 like a champ..

This genny is near as quiet as the Honda when under load.. rattles
a bit when running under no load..

Anyway.. go for the PD chargers.. if you have more than a 1000
watt external genny I would suggest the 80 AMP.. Gar

Not the 80 amp for his rig. He will be fighting the under dash
breaker all the time and never get the batteries charged. 60 amp
only.


Agreed.. I don't understand the 'popping' a breaker thing though.. Is
this breaker you pop on your dc or ac circuit?? I have max 30
amp ac and max 20 amp dc and mine don't pop with my 60 amp charger.. ???

It's a DC breaker that's inline with the Auxilury Battery On/Off switch. On
Kevins and my MH it's one of the pop up kind, and 80 amps is just too much
for it. I just took a look and it's a 40 amp breaker. When that thing pops
you won't know it, but your batteries get zero charge. Everything looks like
it's working, and while you're plugged in you get 12 volts from the
converter, but when you unplug you get the joy of discovering that you have
no charge on the batteries. Fought it for 4 days at Davis Cabinets last
year. I know Kevin has the same year amd mfr MH as I do, so I know that the
80 will not work for him.
