inverter
After I took down the basement wall of my RL, I noticed that the inverter had a switch next to the fuses (all 3 are 35 amp). This switch is to go from AGM to acid batteries. Also there's been a few folks commenting on the forums about the size of the converter, they are 100 amp converters.

I know the brochure said 100A and yours may be, but our Progressive Dynamics is only a 90A

While I had my trailer into the factory service center last fall for its annual inspection, the converter was replaced due to causing flickering/pulsating lights in the coach. Randy pulled the 3 35 Amp fuses out of the original unit and gave them to me. I have checked several automotive suppliers since then for 35 Amp fuses and have not been able to find anything over 30 Amp. So, I suggest that the owners find a source for that fuse rating ahead of time. Also, the service center installed the new 100 Amp converter slightly differently by rotating it 90 degrees to get better cooling

I have not been able to bring in the large bedroom slide. While I was trouble shooting/removing 12v fuses I noticed that some of the red lights beside the fuse that I pull out did not come on while others did. Any ideas with that.

I believe the little red lights only come on if the circuit has a power draw. There's others on here that probably have better knowledge on this

Not 100% sure but I believe Dave is right. If there is no power draw than the light will not come on. I believe I read that on this forum some time back.

That is correct. Under normal conditions of a enabled load, the fuse acts like a short circuit across the LED circuit so the LED does not have voltage across it to allow it to be energized.
For example, if a switch is closed to a lighting load and the fuse is good, the LED will not be energized. If the fuse opens, then the LED will be able to receive sufficient voltage to energize the LED. However, if the switch to the lighting load is open, then all of the voltage appears across the switch and the LED circuit cannot be energized even when the fuse is pulled.
Hope this helps.
