Original Apache Converter!

[jdp]

This May long weekend is going to be our first outing with our 72 Ramada I bought last fall. Been busy with gear box and chain replacements and wall hinges, now I am inside!!! LOL
I installed a new double 12V ceiling light and cannot get it to work, a picture of my converter is posted. At the moment there is not a battery in the unit.
My converter is a 10 amp service, is there anyway to up that without getting a whole new converter?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

i also have a 72 ramada and i am in the process of uping to 30 amp service using a household style box and some 15 amp fuses with the 10/3 30 amp ends... it is pretty easy so far. only trouble has been at the fuse box itself. all the wires can be a headache.

please let me know how it goes and how you did it!  

Thank you as I am not well versed on wiring but can follow directions well, usually!!

Hello Cleat 22

That would be great. It also appears my converter is not putting out 12V power when plugged into city power so I was considering putting in a deep cycle battery so if you have any wiring info on that I would appreciate it.
It looks like one was never wired in my trailer by any of it's previous owners 

Sounds like you had a good trip too, that's great!!!
