Nice video John, sad to hear your converter failed. Tell me did you notice if any of the big ceramic (square in shape) were loose on the circuit board of your converter? When my WFCO converter failed I sent it in for warranty repair too but I replaced it with what I believe is a much better built converter by Power Dynamics. To each their own, right? Now I have the WFCO unit for back up plus I always carry my batter charger which has bailed me out on a long camping trip too.

StephenH,
Quick update. I was on the road for two weeks to close out the season and as mentioned, the converter failed early on. I picked up a nice charger that worked well to keep the battery charged during the trip. I did buy the replacement converted via Amazon (thank you for the link) but wanted to install when at home b/c it would provide great video material and I wanted to capture each step visually so others could benefit. So the job (and filming) was done today and it went well and was relatively easy to replace. I still have to send in the defective model to WFCO and like you, will keep the replacement they send as a back up. THANK YOU for the prompt help! Much appreciated. ~PP

I hope you can get it fixed quickly. Ordering a replacement through Amazon and replacing the bad one on the road and then working to get the bad one fixed under warranty after we returned was perhaps the easiest and fastest way to get things going again. I don't know if WFCO sends out advanced replacements. If they do, that would be another alternative once you verify that it is bad.

I ordered it and since I could not enter the address where we would be (would not accept the address for some reason), I had it shipped to our Pastor who was going to bring the rest of the mission team up to where we were going to be. It was a bit round-about, but it worked.
