Don't confuse the converter/charger unit with the 120VAC -12VDC Power Distribution Panel.
Most of the time the Converter/charger sits in the bottom compartment of the Power Distribution Center and all you have to do is just replace the 120VAC wires going to the Converter/charger unit and the two or three wires associated with the 12VDC output cables.
