BTW, these are the connectors I’ll be using inside a junction box just on the other side of the compartment for the 50amp power cord..... https://www.jacksonelectricsupply.com/M ... /97017.htm

I decided to try out a Boondocker converter and I have to say that so far I think it is quieter than the Progressive Dynamics converter I had in my previous trailer. I got it here in case you’re interested...

I installed the converter in the open space behind the panels. There’s seems to plenty of room and enough airflow.

I also bought my 50 amp Progressive Dynamics panel from Bestconverter.com. They’ve also got separate 12v panels if anyone’s interested.

Those 50 amp cords are a bear aren’t they? Did you enlarge your electrical compartment that is accessed from the outside to make room for storing it?
I haven’t modified that yet as I’m currently using the power cord and will be for the foreseeable future. So I have no need to store it. Heck I don’t have any tires , hubs, or brakes on the trailer so I’m not going anywhere :D. I almost have the curbside suspension completely removed. I’m in the process of getting new parts for that. I already have the hubs, brakes and seals on hand to install once the suspension is finished. I bought all Dexter parts with Timken bearings and National seals. I’m trying to use all made in America parts whenever possible.
