How To Find And Replace The Converter On A 2001 Fleetwood Mallard 19N Travel Trailer
Question:
Hello, I need to replace the Intellipower 9100 on my 2001 Fleetwood Mallard 19N travel trailer, but I cant locate it. I removed the Magnetek 80 distribution panel thinking it was in there, but theres no converter behind it. The trailers manual is useless, of course. Ive looked high and low but cant find it. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks,

The converter has to be wired to the battery so the easiest way to find it would be to go to your battery and trace the wires back from it until you find the converter.
Since you'll be replacing your Magnetek 80D distribution panel and PD9100 Converter I recommend going with an all-in-one combo like the Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger # PD4045KA that you were already looking at.
9100 denotes the series but there should be a number where the zeroes are to indicate the amperage. Typically we recommend matching what you already have so that you don't have to upgrade the wire gauge, but since you're replacing everything we can find the right amperage for your application.
You'll want to choose a power center that has a amperage rating that's at least 10% of your battery bank amp hour rating (i.e. if you had a 450 amp hour battery bank the lowest you could go is a 45amp power center/converter).
You can go with a higher amperage like the Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger - 60 Amp # PD4060K but you'll need to refer to the instruction manual to ensure that you're using the correct gauge wire during the installation.
