Yep, that is because they are power supply style unit. The big question is what happens when the make it a "smart" charger by putting the Charge Wizard on it. All four of the smart chargers we have...

Wouldn't that be the other way around? Power from transfer switch goes to panel, then a breaker, then to outlet, then to PD that is plugged into the outlet or wired directly into a box.

That's interesting about the lights because the PD manual online says there will be a button to change stage and and indicator that flashes code as to what stage it is running in through the internal...

The PD literature is very squishy on if the converter checks for a battery or not. They say it checks the battery voltage to see what stage to chose, but not what it does if the voltage is very low...

Sounds like you are getting close to finding out what is up. Can you get at the outlet to test it?

I think nearly all of the 9200 series PD converters have a small button on them to change the...

That looks just like the fuse panel we have in our Roadtrek, and it is just a panel with fuses and wiring on ours. The older Progressive Dynamics ones had the converter behind them, but I don't know...

Two transfer relays makes sense, that is done a lot. One switches between shore power and generator and the second between inverter and whatever the first transfer switch has chosen.

It would be...

Samlex also makes inverter/chargers, so it could be either a standalone or combo unit. It would pay to get a look at the model number to be certain of what it is. Does it have a remote on it? That...

Yes, you are not correct on that. Without a battery voltage reference, and for some chargers even a quick proof charge acceptance, the charge will not generate any 12v power. It is likely that the...

If the engine charging does connect to the batteries, then the lights should come on, but they won't if just the charger is plugged in. If the lights come on, then there should be adequate voltage...

Very possible the batteries are too low to initiate the battery charger. Most need to see about 9v of battery power or they won't come on. If it is possible on that van to get the engine to charge...

In a lot of batteries it is the other way around as the 6 volts would be golf cart batteries, which tend to have the manufacturers concentrate on deep cycling performance. Lifeline claims this is...

That is interesting, it looks like they have six volt batteries in a group 31 case. You might need to use 12v batteries if you change brand.

It came from GW with 420ah of batteries? That is a lot for a stock class B in 2012. As Avanti says, you could go with less capacity, if you don't need that much power, but I think I would go with...
