Replace the WFCO with an IOTA w/smart charger
I am contemplating replacing the WFCO Converter/Charger model WF-9855 in our 2011 Lance model 1985. In storage in my shop is an IOTA DLS45 with smart charger that I purchased new and only used it for...

I bought a dandy Black and Decker battery charger to replace the 50 year old battery charger my dad bought when I was in high school.
I thought about getting another B&D for my TT, then I realized that the original WFCO charger had provided all the battery power I ever needed. This include one winter when I decided to leave the TT plugged in rather than bring the battery into the house.
It is a three stage charger and it works, It is plugged in all summer between trip, it does not boil dry battery, what ever the charge level is has been sufficient for our needs. On those few time when we have boonedocked and run the battery down it has recovered sufficiently after a few hours of being plugged in.
In the end I decided not to fix what was working. I will just wait until the 2010 vintage charger model breaks down like everyone says it will.
Good Luck
