Parallax Series 7300. 2004 Keystone Cougar 5th Wheel. I leave it plugged into the power pedestal on my property. There is 110 vac at the plug. We just went through a 2 day rain storm. Went to the trailer yesterday and the converter fan was not running. No AC power in the trailer. At least the lights don't work. I didn't try anything else. Water on the kitchen counter above the converter. Don't know if the two are related yet but looks suspicious. Can't believe the converter is flat mounted on the deck but if flooding exists that would explain it. Multi-meter shows 46 vac coming out of the converter. Pretty obvious I am going to have to pull the converter to check it out and find the source of the flooding. I guess I am asking for any sage advice or experience with converter problems.

Thanks, Friz
