Now happy with my new FC 23FB
I just picked up my new trailer less than 2 weeks ago. It has not been out of my driveway yet. However, I have just finished 2 mods that make me a LOT more comfortable with the trailer electrical system.
1. Replaced the POS Parallax 8355 converter with a Progressive Dynamics 4655. Now I don't have to worry about boiling the batteries dry, and they will recharge much faster. Rather than 13.6v all the time, I get 14.4v until the batteries are about 90% charged, then 13.6v till they are charged, then 13.2v as a trickle charge to keep them charged.
2. Installed a Progressive Industries EMS-HW30C between the shore cord and the main breaker box. Now I don't have to worry about bad pedestals at campgrounds. If the wiring is bad, or goes bad, it will disconnect me from all electricity. I would rather lose power completely than have low current, reverse polarity, high current, etc cause damage to my electronics.
I have a third mod I am about to do, but it is not electrical. I have a pair of Fantastic Vent covers that I am going to put over my Fantastic Vents, but that was a lower priority. It is next in line though.
