Hey Steve, the PowerMax RV Power Center # PM67VR that you referenced is actually going to be rated 25 amps higher than what you have now. It's titled in a confusing way as it says its 30 amp but it's actually a 55 amp output converter. You'd want to go with something that more closely matches the amperage you have now like with the WFCO part # WF96FR which is rated for 35 amps. While going with a higher amperage rating is possible the issue is that the wiring you have now wouldn't be able to handle the higher amperage which might cause the wiring to get hot or worst case scenario catch on fire.

Hey Brandon! So the PowerMax #PM47VR is the direct replacement for the WFCO WF-8945 and WF-8945-AD power centers, so if you want a true like-for-like swap, that’s the equivalent option. It keeps you at a 30-amp AC power center with a 45-amp DC…
