breaker-converter box

We just picked up our new 31 RE Cruiser. I have a question about the breaker box. Whenever i turn on a light i hear the breaker box fan motor go on and when i turn it off the motor goes off. Is this normal. Our last 5er i heard the fan motor go on randomly at any time. Thank,s Craig

Yup that's normal. In fact you will hear it speed up as you turn on more 12v items. It may or may not go off for a while...it all depends on the status of your battery charge.

That is normal, the fan is running to keep the converter cool. Mine used to do the same when I turned on the 3-main living/kitchen lights, but since I converted everything to LED inside, I can turn on every light inside and not kick the converter fan on. The factory lights use way more juice than the LED's and the LED's also run alot cooler as well. Kind of a pricey upgrade, but worth if for me as I occasionally will do a camp walmart for a quick snooze to recharge and it helps to save juice where you can...

Thanks, that makes me feel a lot better. Now im going to try to figure out the surround sound. So far the only thing that i have found wrong is the screen door hits at the top when we close it. I will try to fix in the morning. Craig
