Ok, so it sounds like the WF8955 is pretty bad for those boondocking.

We're talking mass production and you want custom modifications? :R If you want a different converter you'll have to change it yourself or have your dealer do it for you. That won't necessarily solve the issue entirely though as most trailer manufacturers stick the converter wherever it's convenient, regardless of how far the run to the battery location may be, and use lighter than ideal cable gauge, most often 6 gauge. If you're really serious about this you also need to match the battery type and AH rating to the charger as some require higher bulk charging voltages than others, some require temperature compensated charging which most converters don't offer. This isn't simply a matter of picking some converter other than a WFCO and calling it good. :R
