I think your "Parallax" is really a Magnetek 6300 from that long ago, and with the 6300 gone, you would have needed a DC fuse panel that did not split for dirty and clean DC like the 6300s did. If you did not do that, you still can. (You can jumper the two pos red and blue on the old 6300's panel to fix that) The 7300 was all clean, so no problem. That is still the case about the fuse panel even if your do have to replace the PD.
Yes I believe your correct. Iirc from years ago it's a Magnetek 6300 and I was looking at the 7300 and then came across the PD9280.
The wiring I believe is ok as I remember going through using schematics making certain all the wiring and connections were correct. I also have factory wiring schematics for the entire motorhome.
I remember there were upgrade kits for the 6300 and 7300 which I believe are still available.
A new 45 amp Magnetek 7300 is around $230.00 plus ~20.00 shipping.
I can get a WFCO 8955 Power Center Converter 55 amp WF8955PEC for $135.00 with free shipping.
So I'm not certain if a new Magnetek 7300 would be worth an additional $115.00? and how much more reliable it would be compared to the WFCO 8955?
