All I did was add a PD9260C 60AMP SMART MODE 'STAND ALONE' Converter close to my 340AH Capacity battery bank.
If you are happy with your Magnetek Power Distribution Panel with the 120VAC Circuit Breakers and 12VDC fuses then this is the best solution as stated above you do not have to rewire (reconnect) all the 120VAC and 12VDC circuits.
The PD9260C was an easy install for us as all I had to do was add a separate 120VAC circuit drop just for the PD9260C Converter/Charger unit. It just plugs into the 120VAC Receptacle. Then I run the DC OUTPUT cables to fed both the 12VDC side of the Power Distribution Panel and the Battery Main switch I have connected to the battery terminals.
My original install actually was using the WFCO 8900 series Power Distribution Panel with a WF8945 Converter/charger module located in the bottom compartment. My problem like most other WFCO products owners was it would never go into BOOST CHARGE MODE. I actually just flipped OFF the 120VAC breaker for the WF8945 Converter unit and left it installed. This is a now a working back-up unit for me if needed. When camping off the power grid I like to re-charge my batteries in a quick three hour generator run time so using the PD9260C works out fine for me when having my 30AMP SHORE POWER cable connected directly to my 2kw Honda Generator.
My wiring looks like this with the PD9260C added.
