23IKSS Converter Fan

I just noticed that the converter fan on my 2015 23IKSS runs constantly, even with no load. My batteries are fully charged. This may be perfectly normal, but I just noticed it today when I plugged in to the house power to charge the batteries up before next weeks trip.

Anyone have a converter fan that constantly runs?

Have you tested the batteries with a multimeter or hydrometer?
That's the best way if determining battery health, not the trailer's idiot lights panel.
The top reason for your issue is bad battery.

I had this issue on my Shasta TT turns out there was a short and it was the Breakaway Switch for the Breaks.

Not saying you do but you might have a short, check all 12V items.

If the fans are running something is drawing power and causing heat to build up in the converter. I would do a load test on the batteries one at a time with them disconnected if they check OK then go from there.
