Thank you for your reply. The converter/charger did not have a fan as it is an old Magnetek 6345 unit. I have replaced it with an upgrade kit from BestConverter. A 3 stage 8900 series WFCO converter/charger.
It now has a cooling fan, better protected circuits and a status light and a much better charger. And it is very quiet and no longer gets warm. The old unit had a reputation of overcharging batteries and sure enough both the 3 year old coach batteries were toast so replaced them as well.
