We are supposed to leave for Jackson MS Friday morning. Does anyone have any experience with the 7300 Series Electronic Converter/Charger, 45 Amp? The guy that has been comverting my electrical in my trailer (added AC, 3 120 volt receptacles, 5 12 v lights) is having a problem blowing breakers. He had never dealt with this type of converter charger before but it is also his frst time working on my living quarters.
I know everything worked before because I had powered through the original little starter breaker box that came with the trailer. This guy said I needed this converter charger, so I bought one. He said I know longer needed the little breaker box, so he took it out.
He started the electrical a month ago, he has only worked on it for 2 1/2 days, procrastinated the rest of the time. I would call him and he has one excuse after another as to why he had not been working on it. I kept asking if it was to much, should I take it somewhere. No No this is a piece of cake he would say. Blah Blah Blah...A whole nother story...
SO...I am freaking out now, because we leave in the morning. Kicking myself...because I should have followed my gut.
Any experience out there with one of these??? What could be causing them to blow my breakers?

We install many converters in our living quarters. I know you were leaving a while ago and I haven't had a chance to read this til now. The first thing I would do Is isolate your problem by unhooking your hot wires one by one there should be 3 hot wires. 1 main, 1 to the outlets and 1 to the 12 volt side of the converter. Unless it is always blowing the breaker to the outlets then I would bet it is a short in your outlet wires drawing too much amperage.
