I had one go bad. I ordered a replacement on Amazon. Then I went on the WFCO site and got the information on how to send it in and it was replaced under warranty. I now have a spare in the box in case it were to happen again. I don't think it is the brand as such. I think they got a bad batch of some components which made for problems. It is likely that newer ones will not have the same failure issues.
This link is WFCO's Warranty Returns page. You will find a testing checklist as well as instructions on how to request an RGA number on the Warranty Information Fax Sheet.

I just changed our converter about a month ago using the WFCO replacement.  The old one lasted 9 years.  I got it on Amazon and it came in 2 days.  It took about 20 minutes to change.  It comes with a 2 year guarantee.  So far it's working fine.

But, after changing my converter, I saw a number of posts saying that some have had issues with this brand and recommend other makes.  If I ever have to replace it again, I'll certainly check out the ones such as recommended by Furpod.

If I was changing on my dime, I would buy the much better, progressive dynamics replacement. ]]> Wed, 25 Apr 2018 19:25:54 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11473&PID=108180#108180 Need new converter : Is it under warranty?

Is it under warranty? These converters are readily available, and are common. You can buy one and contact WFCO about repair. Then you will have a spare.]]> Wed, 25 Apr 2018 18:21:34 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11473&PID=108172#108172 Need new converter : Thew converter in my RPod 179... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11473&PID=108170#108170 Author: rlantram

Thew converter in my RPod 179 is kaput.  No charging when on shore power.  No fan running.  I photographed the barcode and called Camping World.  They did not know what I was talking about.  Wanted me to bring the trailer in.  I just want to buy the part.  Tried to get the part through Forest River.  They wish me to pay $5 to talk to a Forest River Technician.  Why is this so hard?  How do I get my part?
