I had our American Industries 30A power converter (basically, the same as Magnatek) fail about 6 years ago.

If you want to spend the big bucks, you can rip out the Magnatek (or, get an internal conversion guts kit) and retrofit a much better multi-stage 40 or 50 amp charger/converter...
Good luck.
