- wa8yxmExplorer IIIOk there are basically two types of converters.
IF you WFFCO is built into the master power distribution panel...
Progressive Dynamics 4600 series will likely fit in the space currently occupied by the WFFCO electronics,,, This is a top of the line 3-stage plus converter
The other type of converter is "Stand alone" in this type the converter's electronics are in their own box.. Progressive Dynamics 9200 is the replacement.
Forget the rest, go with the best, Progressive Dynamics units with Charge Wizard. - Ralph_CramdenExplorer II

Do not get a WFCO
X2, I replaced the WFCO on our 2017 before it ever seen a campground with the Boondocker main board assembly based on an email exchange with Randy at bestconverter, and could not be happier.
On the previous trailer the WFCO did not fail per se, what it did do was get stuck in bulk mode and boil off both 3 month old batteries. WFCO is a piece of cheap junk, why do you think the RV manufacturers use a lot of them? - jerseyjimExplorerLast year I replaced my CONverter with a Parallax 4455 (55amp). Light, an easy install and so far....so good.
On the 'net, mine cost $207 plus s&h - CaLBaRExplorerThanks everyone. Looks like bestconverter is the place to go. Wonder if he ships to Canada. Will need to give him a call. Could probably pick it up in Buffalo considering the PD4600 is running over $400 CAD. Would be worth the drive to Buffalo to pick it up.

- azrvingExplorerThe wfco would make an excellent boat anchor but it's just too darn lightweight. My PD works well and I also put an 80 amp boondocker in my son's FW that seems to be working fine.
- bob213ExplorerBest converter has both Progressive Dynamics and Boondocker replacement boards that are a direct replacement. Randy is very helpful. Call or email him for suggestions.
