Somewhat confused here on what you are trying to do...
Your motorhome should a 120VAC/12VDC Power Distribution Center somewhere were all of the 120VAC Circuit breakers and 12VDC Circuit Fuses are located.
This Distribution Center usually has a Converter/Charger unit installed in the bottom compartment.
This is basic RV TRAILER Wiring Configuration that is most likly the same for the Motorhone with a few exceptions...
I usually don't respond to the Motorhome post but it seems to me you are going off into left field by saying you want to get the PD9260C Converter/charger unit and then start talking you just want to add a few 12VDC fused item to it...
I need a little more info with model numbers to understand what you are replacing maybe...
I've never heard of an ALLANSON Converter...
What is the year and Model of your Motorhome... Does it have a 120VAC/12VDC Power Distribution Panel where all of the 120VAC Breakers and 12VDC ATV fuses are located...
This is something the Power Converter feeds along with the Battery connected to the same lugs on the Distribution Panel. Then the Converter supplies 12VDC to the Power Distribution Panel when you are connected to shore power or running off generator and the the 12VDC from Battery is also present at this same connection to provide 12VDC to the Distribution Panel. When connected to shore power then the Converter is also a charger now and keeps your battery charged.
Note the 12VDC side of the Power Distribution panel powers up all of your 12VDC item including the ceiling lamps etc...
I just can't think why you want to install the PD9260C 60AMP Converter/Charger unit and only want to connect it to a couple of DC items and a battery???
If you remove the old ALLANSON Converter/Charger unit your 12VDC side of the Power Distribution Center will not work unless the PD9260C converter unit is connected to its DC Power connection points???? The Power Distribution Center is already connected to your frame grounds on the 12VDC side where needed.
Just confused what you are doing here...
