The two go hand in hand and when you put them together you get the total power, otherwise known as watts. Airstream Ambassadors Aaron and Christine Willers are a power savvy couple who love to boondock in their Airstream Interstate. They have a great analogy to help understand power consumption:

Do you have to activate battery converter on airstream?
If you have a vintage unit with the original converter, you must only activate the converter as the battery gets low, otherwise you’d fry the battery (not that I’ve ever done that). Jason renovated two vintage Airstreams and travels the US with his wife and mohawk-sportin’ poodle.
