Tighten lug screws on converter
After reading and seeing the photos of melted wires on a couple of Intetilipower converters I disconnected batteries, screened off my solar panel, unhooked shore power and started tightening the wire lugs. ALL of the lugs were very loose. I tightened and waited about an hour went back and tightened again. I found more tightening needed. Did this three times until they were secure. Electrician informed the stranded wires used which are correct can do this. The factory does set them tight but they slowly loosened up from heating and cooling and road shaking.. So everyone should at least check their converters for loose wires. It's easy and eliminates at least one possible melt down or fire hazard. Our Big Sky is 4 years old and has about 50,000 miles including to Alaska and back. Lots of road shaking. Yep, lots of other "stuff" has loosened, broke or fell off. It's just maintenance and parts. We're still as good or better than new. So dig out the screw drivers and have at it.
