Sounds like you have the know how and ability to hi grade the good parts you added. And that’s the right choice imo. Sounds like the parts are worth what the camper is (roughly) and that you could use some/all on the new one. You can still sell a fully functional camper by swapping converters or whatever.
It’s just money and if you have the ability to save yourself some of that, it’s rarely the wrong choice.
Like selling vehicles with mods. Rarely if ever does it pay to leave expensive mods on if your can otherwise capitalize off of them.
Recent case in point, traded our old truck/camper for a much newer truck. Value wise the newer truck itself was the right deal in itself. But the guy had easy $10-15k in mods on it.
No one cared. And I have sold a couple of the parts on it I didn’t want for good money and would totally be money ahead if I sold it tomorrow, by stripping it back down to bone stock, throwing a cheap set of takeoff wheels on it and selling the (desirable) parts separately.
I think I'm with you on this and will go ahead and try to replace all the boards with the Dinosaur boards. My only concern is the converter. I spent a long afternoon replacing the factory converter with the PD converter, not really knowing what I was doing. Somehow it all worked:), but our old 96 camper has relatively simple wiring, and I'm concerned this one may as a much newer unit with more electronic systems may be a little more complex. Any thoughts? Thanks!
