New converter, or whole power center?
Hi all, I have a 1988 Class C with the older Magnetek 6300A power center. I'd like to upgrade the converter, and see I can do that for around $130. I also see I can get a whole new power center, a WF...

which has the adjustable voltage feature you might find useful
What are the chances I will actually use this?

One way is to use the black and white wires to the 6300 input (the black goes to the 120v circuit breaker marked "converter") and use them on a standard household 15a receptacle.
Any reason I can't just cut off the plug and wire directly together in a J-box?

Jumpering the fuse panel is easy. The 6300 board has two positives (red and blue) instead of just the one blue. So you add a wire over to join their two lugs, so now the blue (to new converter pos) will do both "sides".
There is info on jumpering I will link here on edit, if I can find it
Thank you! Sounds plenty easy.
Forgot to mention this is a 30amp rv. The current converter is 45amp. Should I upgrade that? How much? We don't run much: a/c, sometimes microwave or coffee pot or hairdryer. Wiring in rv is 14/2 I think. It's white romex but seems heavier than modern, so it may be 12/2. I see he PM3-60LK is actually about the price as the original 45 I posted. Much less than the PM3-5LK.
You are awesome!
