I currently have a 10 amp Xantrex automobile charger connected to dc battery wires from dc distribution panel which is enough for lighting and to power the Norcold frig.
I'm going to remove the entire 6300 dist panel and thinking of finding an entire new dist. panel with a power converter and cover.
After removal I'll further test the PD9280 to make certain it indeed isn't functioning.
The factory Magnetex 6300 cover is missing which makes it vunderable to exterior forces and the area underneath doesn't have enough room to completely cover and secure the PD9280 which heat sink section was sticking out a little bit. Vunderable to being kicked by people using the sink.
The cut out area for the 6300 dist panel with converter is approx 12" x 11" The depth is compromised by plumbing and other wiring. So there's not alot of room to install a separate coverter without modifications to the dist. panel's cut-out.
I'm not certain if a 14.4 vdc charge of two RV marine batteries is needed as the batteries have been only used for a short while (for a few hours to a day or two) after a power outages caused by wind & rain storms. Perhaps once or twice a year.
