Question:

Hi, will this converter # 34266168 run my MaxxAir roof vent fan and some 12 volt lighting? Im converting a cargo trailer into a camper,right now I have my roof vent fan hooked up to a small CB radio converter and after about 30 minutes the converter shuts down because it gets hot and trips the breaker in the converter it doesnt have a cooling fan in it. Thank you

This converter you're looking at # 34266168 is rated for 600 watts and 45 amps. If you were to run something like this # MA00-04500K and a dozen or more LED lights, you won't go over the converters power rating. This one has a cooling fan on it so even if it does get hot, the fan will do a great job at keeping things cool.

Is there a less expensive converter that is as capable?

@DianeD The Go Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger # 34266168 is our most budget friendly stand alone option. Some of the less expensive options are designed to be mounted into a particular power center and not by itself.
