Oh well, I guess I will need one too as my solar charger routinely goes up to 15.3v and 15.6v when equalizing. Between modifying the LED lighting, adding voltage stabilizers to the fridge and...

I would use a boost buck - it would keep the fridge going even if the battery went a little low. A 6 amp should be plenty.

Do a search for 12v voltage stabilizer - below is an example:...

You are absolutely correct. :)

I intend to modify my lights with voltage regulators because I have the equipment and knowledge to be able to do so. If I wasn't able to do this, I would just...

I started out writing a detailed circuit description with formulas, etc. explaining the why and then common sense kicked in and I deleted it.

Keep in mind - every device that you add voltage regulation decreases it's efficiency. None of the voltage stabilizers are 100% efficient - they all create a little heat and add a loss to the...

I forgot about the separate fuse for the fridge control board. That would be the place to install a small voltage stabilizer if it needs one and leave the 20/30 amp circuit as it is.

I'm sure that almost all LED lighting is now made in China. "Made in China" was more a lamentation - stuff used to be better made. When I was a kid, it was "made in Japan" as a derogatory statement...

Modifying the LED light circuit to include a voltage regulator should fix this. Attached is my design for the LED light.

For the Maxxfan, adding a 12v voltage stabilizer should help.

Don't forget - some of us have solar chargers that put out 15.8 volts when in equalization mode. That may have something to do with the LED lights going out.

Just rub it in, Dave!:rolleyes: On the newer trailers, Escape installed "made in China" LED lighting that can't handle voltages over 12v. That's the ones that are failing.
