Dave,
We have essentially the same trailer - just a different name and year.
I just broke out my manual and find a similar electrical situation. However,
the pump is only run from the battery. I think I will be okay with the fan if
the diode bridge rectifier that Dr. Johnson suggested works. (thanks again
Gerald)
I now need to find an inexpensive way to charge the battery too. According to
the description in the manual, the schematic, and my voltage tester, there is no
charge to the battery from the univolt. We don't boon dock (yet) so a charge to
the battery from City Power would be nice.
