Question:
What exactly does an all-in-one RV power center do, and how is it different from just replacing a converter?

Expert Reply:
Mike, an all-in-one RV power center like the PowerMax 45A # PM47VR, 55A # PM67VR, or 60A # PM77VR replaces the entire electrical panel / hub in your RV - not just the converter section. These units combine the AC breaker panel, DC fuse panel, and converter/charger into one housing. Sometimes converters are part of this assembly, or they can be standalone converters; it just depends what you have. Most units with standalone converters are on smaller, lower capacity setups.
These specific units are commonly used to replace older WFCO power centers like the WF-8945, WF-8955, or WF-8900 series, depending on the amp rating. Instead of troubleshooting separate components, everything is centralized and designed to work together.
If your RV has a single wall-mounted panel that handles both AC breakers and DC fuses, a PowerMax power center is the correct style of replacement. Do you know which WFCO model you’re starting with?
