    I found these today while running some new wire for the CB. Does anyboby know what they might “convert” or are used for? Thanks.

    When the term “converter” is used in the context of our campers it has meant the device takes 120 volt alternating current as an input, and “converts” it to direct current output, usually 12 or 24 volts.

    Where in your Liberty are the converters located, can you determine where the output goes, can you confirm the converters have 120 volt AC input?

    BTW, on my Liberty and at least some others I have seen the power for the CB comes directly from a fused line attached to a 12 volt output at the house batteries. If you are having trouble with power to the CB you might go to the house batteries and check the fuse for continuity and possible corrosion (a problem I had).

    Fred, The devices in question are electronic dimmers, they will be connected to rotary switches to dim lighting in the front of your coach. You will find these through out the coach where ever you have dimmable lights. In my coach there were two forward, two behind the main panel and one in the bedroom.

    Lee, Dimmers yes that makes perfect sence because they are in fact located just below the dimmer switches in the front cabnet behind the driver.

    Jon, I did in fact trace the old CB wires to the house batteries and all was good there. But now I’m running 10 gauge wire for the new CB to the same battery.
