Hey all, I’m in a very odd situation. Hopefully this is allowed. I had to walk in the rain to an abandoned boat I sit on for service so I’m on mobile. I can’t really navigate the forum well.
I work for my states park service and am living in a hurricane Katrina FEMA camper. Overall it’s a pretty nice place however I don’t have heat, stove, roof leaks some, and other etc.
The issue I’ve had for a few months is if I use my interior lights, the AC immediately shuts off and doesn’t come back for a good while. This morning I was awoken by the AC relay freaking out and the breaker snapping, so that was fun.
Anyways it seems the solution I found online was replace the inverter / power converter board that charges the battery, but there’s some issues there.
I DID replace the inverter but realized my specs may be too off. Being government property I am not permitted to buy anything for it. It’s some complicated state thing. I am,however, allowed to pull parts off another camper which I did. The problem is I hooked everything up before comparing specs .
The converter is from a camper that says inverter input is 780 watts, output is 13.6VDC 45 amps.
I installed it into a camper that says the input is 950 watts and the output is 13.6v 55amps.
Will this work? I know one of the wires connected to the AC switch so I haven’t touched my AC or heat so nothing should be damaged yet (hopefully). It’s about to get very cold and I would like heat.
I’ve lived in this thing since august 1st. It’s been a bit buggy and I partially fell through the bathroom floor , but it’s been pretty comfortable . I just graduated and went from an apartment to this, so it’s been a learni experience.
Thanks in advance !
