At California RV Specialists, we specialize in RV electrical repairs, troubleshooting, diagnostics, and upgraded replacement components. Your RV’s electrical system is the heart of every trip — if the power supply isn’t healthy, nothing inside the RV functions the way it should. When a converter starts to fail, it can cause low voltage, dead batteries, damaged appliances, and safety concerns.
Don’t let electrical issues ruin your travel plans. Our experienced technicians ensure your converter and RV charging system are functioning correctly and safely — so you can travel with confidence.
Deck-Mount vs. Power Center Converters
Before replacing a converter, it’s important to know which type your RV uses:
- Power Center Converter: Integrated inside the main breaker/fuse distribution panel (very common in travel trailers & fifth wheels).
- Deck-Mount Converter: Stand-alone charger/converter mounted separately in the RV (common in upgrades, lithium conversions, custom installs, etc.).
If you’re not sure which one you have — bring your RV in and we’ll identify the correct unit and recommend the proper replacement based on your battery type and charging needs.
