This RV power control center combines an AC/DC panel with a smart converter charger. Creating easy access to your electrical connections, this all-in-one breaker box distributes AC and DC loads to your RV and charges your batteries while connected to shore power. It's compatible with lithium and lead acid batteries.
AC/DC Electrical Distribution
The panel supplies AC and DC distribution to your RV's electrical system. The AC section has space for up to 3 breakers rated for 120V at 30 amps. This lets you have up to 6 branch circuits when you use tandem breakers. The DC section has 12 branch fuse holders capable of using (2) 30 amp and (10) 20 amp fuses. However, you will need to purchase AC breakers and DC fuses separately to complete the installation.
Once all of your connections are made, the breakers and fuses are easily accessible by opening the door on the front of the box. The door also includes a blank label to list all of the connections.
Multifunctional Converter Charger
The integrated converter charger changes AC shore power into DC power to charge your battery bank. It includes an output mode switch that lets you choose either lithium or lead acid batteries. No matter what type of battery is installed in your RV, you'll always have the most efficient charging profile. If your RV already has a stock converter charger, it will need to be removed to ensure this unit operates properly.
Charging Profile Designed for Lithium Batteries
In lithium mode, the unit uses a higher output voltage, which provides a fast, complete charge. It also extends battery life since it utilizes the appropriate charging profile. Additionally, this mode is compatible with your battery's internal Battery Management System (BMS), which helps manage the charge cycle by monitoring the battery state and balancing cell voltage.
Charge Wizard for Lead Acid Batteries
In lead acid mode, the Charge Wizard automatically switches voltages while your lead acid battery bank charges. This accelerates the charge but also helps extend battery life by adjusting the voltage during the different modes. This function is compatible with flooded lead acid, AGM, and gel batteries.
Charging Modes
- Boost: This mode charges at the full rated load for a quicker recharge time. This is where most of the charging happens. It charges the battery up to 90% of the full capacity.
- Normal: This mode provides controlled voltage to ensure a full charge. Once the battery begins to reach capacity, the normal state will kick in and reduce the voltage to safely complete the charge.
- Storage: Once the battery reaches full charge and remains unused for 30 hours, this mode maintains a lower voltage to compensate for self-discharge. This reduces battery stress and minimizes gassing and water loss.
- Equalization: This mode activates to prevent stratification and sulfate buildup during extended storage cycles. These two issues can damage a battery by causing the accumulation of acid at the bottom of the battery and hardened sulfate crystals on the battery plates. This mode is especially helpful when your battery is going unused during storage.
Safety Features
The system includes a number of safety features. It has a reverse polarity protection that will protect the converter if the battery is hooked up incorrectly. Additionally, the unit includes protection for overvoltage, undervoltage, and overcurrent, which can damage your equipment, as well as the converter. The built-in cooling fan also removes excess heat from the unit. The fan speed is proportional to the internal temperature of the converter, so when the power demand is low, the fan will operate quietly.

I wasn't sure if I was able to do this job myself. Our last converter was making a high pitch sound that drove her crazy. I could not hear it. But I labeled all the wiring before disconnecting them from the original one. It was a pain being on the floor to do the work, but probably save 500. By not taking it to a dealer. Make sure to get the same exact model number of the one you have before you order your part. You can do it.

About a year ago I bought a Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter for my vintage trailer. Coupled with solar panels, 2 deep cycle batteries, and the attendant wiring and fusing, it makes a great Power Distribution Center for both AC and DC in my trailer. I am very pleased with its versatility and value. It is one of the few "all-in-one" AC/DC Power Distribution systems. It is robust enough to run all of my DC systems while connected to "shore power," and charge the batteries at the same time. There are plenty of slots for AC breakers and DC fuses. I would buy this item again.
by: Marc 08/20/2023
It was an exact fit for my RV. The converter has been working great since I installed it.

The controller is still working well with no apparent issues.
by: Dave 09/04/2024
I bought this for a cargo trailer conversion. It's perfect! Came with good instructions and templates. I won't hesitate to purchase another in the future.
by: Dan01/13/2024
A little bit confusing when speaking with sale team, received conflicting information regarding converters application. Shipping was fast but converter container was damaged and poorly packed for sensitive electronics. Previous business with etrailer has been stellar. May be awhile before I can hookup converter, so hopeful nothing was damaged!

I hate to hear that it arrived damaged. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you. If it is indeed damaged then we would like to get it replaced for you.
by: Dustin 08/12/2024
The folks at etrailer helped me choose the correct replacement converter. I placed the order over the phone and it shipped the same day. Ordered on a Thursday and received just two days later on Saturday. The replacement converter is installed and working like a charm.
by: John07/17/2024
Had professional install 3 hours. Works well. Slightly damaged but install was able to fix without issue
by: Larry04/23/2024
Nice unit, I wish the exterior would be something other than plastic and the install directions were more precise. The PD045 sits close to the floor and a case of something other than plastic would be more durable. Perhaps an aluminum cover would help. The new unit replaced a 25yo and my Leisure Travel RV. The new 4045 works well. It took a year to installs as I could not find a local RV place that would work on the replacement. Decided to educate myself and installed the unit this spring ( I bought the 4045 model last summer). The etrailer install videos were useful as well as numerous YouTube guides. However, much better manufacturer instructions would have saved a lot of time.
by: Steve07/01/2024
Easy installation.
I sold the trailer shortly after installing this item.
It worked well for the amount of time that I owned the trailer.
by: Bruce 02/13/2024
This all-in-one power center is very well designed. Made to keep on-board batteries continuously charged, plenty of room for branch circuit breakers and 12v circuits. Built-in ventilation fan to keep the electronics cool. It comes in a smart looking case with hinged door access to the breakers and fuses and led indicator lights showing blown fuse location. Vey pleased with my choice of a distribution center for my trailer rebuild.
by: Carl06/27/2024
On time and we’re heading down the road thank you etrailer.

by: Donald 10/31/2021
We live in our rv full time and the installation of this power inverter was a great upgrade. I needed one that would charge our lithium batteries while plugged in ana it has worked flawlessly. It is a little smaller then the old outdated one, but was easy to remedy.

working flawlessly. Pretty much plug in the rv and forget it. It does let out a loud squealing noise when you first plug in but it goes away within 30 seconds.
by: Wil 05/16/2023
Powerful unit that serves my rv well!
by: Mark03/24/2022
Unfortunately this converter was not a “drop-in” replacement (as advertised by PD) for the existing converter in my trailer. It’s actual dimensions are larger and would not fit in my existing converter space. I should have double checked the specs. More disconcerting was that it was shipped without the factory packaging and manuals by etrailer. It came in a box with paper padding that seemed inadequate to protect sensitive electronics. etrailer needs to do better than this.

I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you. The overall dimensions are 12.25 inches long by 8.75 inches tall by 7.25 inches deeo. The rear cutout dimensions are 10.75 inches long by 7.25 inches tall.
by: Dave C07/19/2020
Replaced a 16 year old converter that had mostly unfiltered dc circuits, which would measure at 12v at no load but, to my surprise, would rise to 23v under load. This caused LED light bulbs to run very hot and caused the max-air fan to stop running. Bought this new converter and it fixed the 12 system issues! The LED’s stay cool, the fan works and the kingdom is at peace. I also like the battery charging intelligence that keeps the house battery charged without overcharging.
by: Kim M12/19/2020
This product is great. It took a little bit of time to put in but was worth it. No more overheating or humming as the previous converter had been doing. There is even extra spots available if you want to add another breaker. The color coding on the wires made it easy to hook up without tangling the cables. I would highly recommend this product.

The converter is still working well a year later. Never gets hot or hums. Fantastic replacement for my needs.
by: Michael09/02/2021
I’ve ordered from a trailer multiple times. Pretty disappointing when I received a converter worth a few hundred dollars not packaged properly. I’m just hoping that it works so that I don’t have to send it back. But on this occasion it was very surprising/disappointing. Anyways, that’s my two bits!

The power box was good .when we loaded out the motor home,somehow they pulled the main power cable apart inside the casting and you could not see it .So now I have a spare box .Still have not used the motor home since,this stupid lockdown we cannot go no where
by: Hilldweller03/11/2022
It's doing the job but I wish it had a charge profile specific to a LiFePo4 battery, no just lithium in general. I've monitored the voltages it's throwing at the battery and they're not ideal. Battleborn has built in protections for the battery and they recommended this converter, but I'd still like it to be tuned a bit better.

It would also be more than just the converter section as well.
