The Whole Kitandkabootle (is that how its spelled?!)

kit and caboodle

Although in this case, the “Kit“ will include the new converter and the “Caboodle” will remain in place.

Do all your wiring with the coach unplugged and generator off, and the house batteries disconnected.

The wires on the left come from the breaker panel and provide 120v ac to the converter. Black is hot (connected to one of the breakers and should be labeled “converter”), white is neutral (connected to the neutral bus bar with all the other neutrals), and hopefully there is a bare copper ground somewhere although I don’t see it.

The wires on the right provide 12v dc. Red is 12v + to charge the battery, white to the neg side of the fuse panel, and blue to the 12v + camper loads on the fuse panel. A proper replacement converter will have all these connections.

Consult to manual for the new converter to confirm connections. They should be clearly labeled. The picture in post #4 is just an example of a direct replacement chassis. Do you already have a new converter? If so what make and model?

No new converter, yet. I’m planning on a Progressive Dynamics

In that case you will probably only have two DC output wires - black for pos, white for neg. Black would replace the red in your fuse panel, white to white. Be sure to identify your old unit and get the right replacement and confirm wiring from PD or whoever you buy the new unit from.

Thank you.

Send your picture to Randy at BestConverter - Converters, Inverters, Electrical Supplies, Electronics and he‘ll be able to identify your existing converter and suggest a modern converter that will fit in that space, likely one of the “upgrade” converters. Then it will just be a matter of removing your existing converter, identifying the various leads, and installing the new unit. It is not a complicated or difficult job, but you need some direction to get it right.

4600 series Upgrade Kits

The pic below (from this:PD4655V 55 Amp Converter Upgrade, Optional Remote Pendant-PD) is just an example but shows that the old unit is easily removable and direct replacements are available.

Awesome. Thank you.
