Is a converter upgrade necessary anymore?

We upgraded our last 2008 Tahoe because the Parallax converter would take a day to charge 2 6-volt batteries. We went with a Progressive Dynamics 4-stage that worked really well. We are getting ready to pick up our 2018 GD Imagine 2800BH and it has a WD-8955PEC. The website says it’s a 3-stage that charges at 14.4 volts. I would think that would be adequate for dry camping. Any experiences with these units? Thanks.

    Mine was stuck at 13.6 volts. IT SHOULD work well. But most everyone here has found that they don't work as advertised. Junk

    It's a WFCO WF-8955PEC.

    Try it and see how well it maintains/charges batteries and IF it ever goes to 14.4V DC 'BULK' charge

    It's a 2018 model so maybe WFCO has finally got it right
