This one, I don't know. Your existing converter is 14 years old. It will depend on what charger is in your converter and what it's capabilities are. You'd have to look for the info on the model and...

Mike, it pretty much is determined by how your coach is wired and not all of them are the same. You can look at the wiring diagrams for your chassis - we have no idea what RV you have - and see how...

Wow Don... that helps a LOT.

To clarify, this applies to the 2020 Spinter-based models only. So, as far as we know models based on a Ford Transit chassis don't necessarily have this Charge-Mate -...

Sorry, Lame attempt at a joke. You had said, and I quoted, that with no sun apparent you were seeing 20-amps of charging and I thought you meant from the panels. Not the charger.
