Depends on how they decided to wire it that day. Mine, out was connected. My Uncle's was in and connected. Had feed wire on terminal opposite of mine.

Yes you can. I put those Furrion cords on 2 different prior trailers and never had the LED burn out. I really liked them.

I also like the Furrion 48 rear observation camera although it seemed to be way overpriced, but it works well. I could not bring myself to leave the mount installed by Rockwood unused.

Now the Furrion TV that came in the Roo is pure junk. If you read their schmeel on their website, they are better than a Samsung.
I have a bridge for sale too.

As I'm not able to charge my battery from plugged into the wall, I think I'm looking at a different issue now. Doing some research, I may have a blown fuse on the converter, or the converter is completely shot. Do any of you know where the converter is located on a 233s so I can look at the fuses?

If the light is on the inlet cover on the trailer it is most likely one of the wires that feed the light. They are a small gauge and break internally due to the flexing they receive opening and closing the cover. I took it apart once to see about repairing mine but after seeing how it was put together I decided it wasn't worth the effort. I know I have power inside the trailer if the microwave lights up which is enough.

LOL no I know where the electric panel is at and I had my mother in law look at the panel. After digging around more in a few other threads, some suggested that if the panel had 2 40 amp fuses, that's for the converter. She found the 2 40 amp fuses and said both fuses looked fine, so now I think the converter is no good anymore. I might have to post a new thread in electronics to figure this out.

The converter is behind the fuse/breaker panel.
You need a multimeter to diagnose the issue.

Thanks bikendan. I'll throw this out there: My buddy has a portable charger and was able to charge the battery just fine with it. Would that be an indication of a bad converter or is more info required?

Not necessarily.
It could be the resettable fuse, tucked in along the A-frame, could've tripped.
When tripped, it will prevent the converter from charging the battery when on shore power.
That's why you need a multimeter to test the battery cables/wires.

I am in agreement to check that fuse first. On travel trailers it is under the frame; in 5th wheels it may be under the pin box at the umbilical connection.

If the fuse checks good and still not getting 13+ volts at the battery on shore power, here is a generic WFCO 8900 converter trouble shooting guide and operator manual.

You should also check for a tripped 120VAC breaker as it may feed the converter.

A dumb question. Do you have a battery disconnect switch that could be turned off?

Sorry, yes I do have a battery disconnect switch and it is in the correct position (pulled out) to run off battery.

@ Herk, thank you, very useful info.
