What's wrong?
The power converter in a 2013 Keystone Montana or Fuzion fifth wheel is part of the RV's electrical system. It changes incoming AC power into lower-voltage DC power so the trailer can run interior electrical equipment and keep the battery charged. The converter has to control that power cleanly without overheating or sending current where it does not belong.
On affected Montana and Fuzion fifth wheels, the Progressive Dynamics converter has a serial number prefix from A13014 through A13039. Internal components in those converters can short circuit. A short circuit means electricity follows the wrong path inside the converter, which can damage the converter and the connected electrical system.
Keystone's recall information does not list an owner symptom before the converter fails. There is no warning sign before failure.
