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.

Thanks, Bob. I'll go with the 60 amp unit.
