Default Re: Electrical problems

I also have the 458 Xantrex inverter and it charges the house batteries only. Has nothing to do with the chassis batteries. But it should not get that hot in the inverter compartment to start melting stuff. Has to be a bad converter.

But also the drop in your voltmeter on the dash and your chassis batteries going dead tells me you also have a alternator problem. Could also be a lose alternator belt and is slipping. Wow! That was a night mare of a trip. I always keep the inverter turned off unless I want AC power to charge a cell phone or something while I am driving. The fridge I always run it on propane while driving. Fact I very seldom use the invertor. If I want to use the microwave while driving, I turn the generator on for a few minutes while the wife does what ever on the microwave.
