The RV converter is the component that takes 120V shore power and converts it to 12V DC to run interior lights, fans, slide motors, water pump, and other 12V systems - and simultaneously charges the battery bank. When the converter fails, 12V systems only work until the batteries drain, then everything stops.

Converter failure is often confused with battery failure because the symptoms are similar - 12V systems getting weaker and eventually stopping. The diagnostic difference: if 12V systems fail when shore power is connected, it's the converter (batteries should be fine since they're being charged). If 12V fails when not plugged in, it's more likely a battery issue.

Signs of a Failing or Failed Converter

Converter Brands We Service

WFCO converters are the most common in RVs and have a well-documented failure pattern - the main board fails, often from overheating when the cooling fan fails first. Parallax converters are older units common in travel trailers and fifth wheels from the 1990s and 2000s. Progressive Dynamics converters are a higher-quality unit with better multi-stage charging - we often recommend upgrading to a PD unit when replacing an older WFCO or Parallax.

Service area: Apopka, Longwood, Casselberry, Altamonte Springs, Sanford, Lake Mary, DeLand, Deltona, DeBary, Mount Dora, Tavares, Leesburg, and all surrounding communities in Orange, Seminole, Lake, and Volusia counties.

    FAQ

    Common Questions

    Plug into shore power and let it charge for 30 minutes. Then test 12V systems. If they still fail while on shore power, the converter is the problem - it's not pushing power to the 12V system. If they work fine on shore power but fail on battery, the batteries are discharged or failed.

    WFCO converters have a reputation for repairable board failures. But given that a new Progressive Dynamics or WFCO replacement is $150 to $300 and includes a multi-stage charger that's better for battery health than older converters, replacement often makes more sense than repair for units over 10 years old.

    Yes. Most converters are direct-replacement units that fit in the same space with the same wiring connections. Upgrading from an older WFCO 55-amp unit to a Progressive Dynamics 60-amp or 80-amp unit with multi-stage charging is a worthwhile upgrade that improves battery life.

    A loud or irregular hum from a converter, especially combined with unusual heat, is a warning sign of imminent failure. The hum often indicates a failing cooling fan (causing the transformer to overheat) or a failing board component. Don't ignore it.
