Hey Daniel,

For just a converter we have the Progressive Dynamics 9300 Series RV Converter Charger # PD49RR, but from what you're looking at I'm guessing you need more of a whole system like the Progressive Dynamics 4000 Series # PD4045KA instead.

Something like this can work, but you just have to make sure that you have the correct amount of cutout space (10-3/4" long x 7-1/4" tall) and that the 45A rating won't cause anything else to overload - you may have to upgrade other parts in your electrical setup to keep this from happening.

If you can let me know what exact model converter you currently have I can see if we have more of a specific fit for you.

Best I can figure is it’s a series 7300. My cut out is 10 3/4” tall by 9” wide

@DanielG If the main unit is a Parallax/Magnetek, then you'll be able to use the Replacement Converter Section # PD4645V, which I've confirmed with my Progressive Dynamics contact that this will work in the past. Aside from that, your best bet is to adjust your cutout to work with the system I referenced above if you're wanting to replace the whole thing.
