So I am charging the battery with my solar panels and am also plugged in to 110. I made sure the thermostat was set to off, but I can hear a fan running. Sure enough, just under the fuse box right inside the door, there is a fan on. Is this the converter fan that comes on when charging? I have a 2017 model 178. Thanks

OK Thanks, kymooses. I went to ForestRiver forums and found a thread that confirmed this, too. Getting smarter every day!

That fan will go off when charging circuit is satisfied.

I don't understand.  Why would anyone have their solar panels charging their battery at the same time they are plugged into 120v?  The batteries are being charged from the converter already.
