Does it look like this?  (this one came from an 82 ASI camper)

These units were in ASI campers and many other American converted RV's.

They are quite nice, they charge both batteries when you have shore
power and convert 110v to 12v for all your 12v devices.  Much more
versatile than the power setup of a standard westy.

The unit I had was flaky....I found the manufacturer via google.
They are still in business.   They repaired the circuit board in my
unit for only $22

I'm sure they can supply you with manuals and/or test your unit if necessary.
