Hey Don, I looked up your Carson Converter model cp-06fk-1 and found that it is a 15 amp converter/charger. That's pretty low compared to whats used nowadays but the closest to that would be the Progressive Dynamics 9300 part # PD49RR which is rated for 30 amps and lithium batteries like what you will be going to. You will need to make sure your wiring can handle 30 amps. 10 gauge like part # 10-1-1 would be adequate.
