How to determine rating of a new converter panel?

If I were to upgrade our basic WFCO converter to one of the good ones like PD, how do you determine the rating to use? 45, 60, 70 or 80 amps? Is bigger better? We don't dry camp and don't discharge...

So battery capacity has nothing to do with converter DC rating?


Not for running the rig's 12v stuff and keeping the battery charged. If you go crazy and get more than the one 12v 24 size batt you are issued with, then you are on your own for getting some way to recharge the bigger battery bank you got. :)
