While I had things torn apart I replaced the bottom of the line converter with a new Iota DLS55MW/IQ4. A very good and easy upgrade.

The black box on the top right was the new 30A change over switch "contactor" assembly. The Iota I mounted on the wall on the left. I don't think I ever heard the fan come on.

I plan on upgrading our new 2015 Bunk in the next month or so. Currently I keep the batteries disconnected in storage and use a battery minder to keep them in good shape.
Nice Work!

BTW, that black box is 'officially' called an Automatic Transfer Switch
