I haven't been hearing my fan (cooling)motor operating on my converter/charger for a while. I used to hear it come on and off often. I leave my Montana plugged in over the winter months while in my back yard. In checking my battery (now that the snow has finally melted here in NJ) I found the cells very low and the battery dead. In normal winters, I always check the fluid level in the battery about once every two weeks. I couldn't even get to my trailer for months this winter.

That's the background now to my question. I have a 45-amp converter in my 3670RL. I think that I am going to replace it before my upcoming trip. Can I "oversize" the converter with a 55-amp or 65-amp and would it be of any benefit?

Thanks in advance for your input.
