Question:
I have a 30-amp travel trailer with a WFCO WF-8945 power center. Would the PowerMax PM47VR be a direct replacement?

Hey Alicia! The PowerMax converter power center # PM47VR is designed as a direct replacement for WFCO power centers like the WF-8945 and WF-8945-AD. It’s a 30-amp AC power center with a built-in 45-amp DC converter, so it fills the same role as your original unit.
If you’ve upgraded batteries or want a little faster charging, we can also talk about stepping up to the # PM67VR which is also 30 Amp but has a higher DC converter output of 55 amp instead of the other model's 45 amp output..

I’m still running the factory single battery and mostly camp with hookups, nothing crazy.
