| 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. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

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. ------------- 2018 R-pod 176 2017 RAM 1500 5.7L Hemi
