Parallax Converter
Hi - we have a new(er) RV with a Parallax converter - series 7300. Can I leave this plugged in (charging the battery) 24/7? In our trailer we had a WFCO converter and I replaced it with a Progress...

Save the 7300 and reinstall before you trade again.

Good plan, but if the OP ordered a deck mount converter? Then IMO just leave the 7300 in place and put the deck mount as close to the batts as possible in the rig. Run a 120v receptacle to near there to plug in the deck mount converter.

X2. There's no need at all to even touch the Parallax ... just leave it where it is and turn it off. sly keep the CTEK and simply turn the WFCO back on again ... a FAR better solution than physically replacing the converter. :B

Yeah... But - this is for our class B - absolutely no extra room anywhere. Not to worry - we plan on keeping this RV for a very long time. ;)
Doesn't change my story ;) ... apparently you've already purchased the PD so I guess you're stuck with it but in your shoes, because your current Parallax is otherwise working just fine, I would have just left it as it and instead invested in CTEK or NOCO portable charger, any of which will have a much smaller footprint than any converter/charger and which can be used anywhere at any time and not require any modification of the RV itself. JMO. ;)
