So she knew there was an issue. My brother gave her a converter to replace the one she had knowing it worked. When they went to replace it..the "new" one is a plug style and the one int he TT was a 6345 retrofit..and it did not have a plug. Can the new one be used?
Yes. You can leave the 6345 in place and use the new one as a portable or permanent charger mounted somewhere else but connected to the battery bank and a 120v receptacle (that might have to be added)--
or else cut the plug from the new unit and connect the hot and neutral to the "hardwire" 120v input to the 6345 with the 6345 removed. The 6345 converter part only has the hot and neutral as input. Its metal box touches the bigger metal box the whole power centre is in, which in turn is connected to the trailer's frame.
