The fans on my Prowatt SW1000 inverter run all the time when the Georgetown is hooked up to power. Is this normal?

I have one of those. first off, that is an inverter, not a converter. The fan should only run when there is a significant load. Check the panel as it will tell you how much power is being drawn. My fan almost never runs, but than I usually draw 300 watts or less.

Agree w/ previous post.

It will depend on what you're using. If you turn off everything it probably won't run.

Interesting..

Do you have any appliances on or lights? If so, which one(s)?

When you disconnect the coach is exactly when it does run to supply 120 VAC to devices that are not powered by shore power.

I pulled the plug out of the gfi on the inverter and the fans still keep running.
