CTEK Multi US 7002 Charger
Our current trailer is equipped with a WFCO 8955 converter which has never bulk charged at it's rated 14.4 volts ... the most I've ever seen is ~ 13.73 volts even when the battery has been depleted be...

Brilliant idea :B ... I already have my PSW inverter mounted in the front storage compartment, no reason I couldn't also locate a second converter in there as well. I'd leave the trailer wired as it is with the WFCO and just turn it off but if / when we ever sell the trailer simply remove the PD. Since I "know a guy" I can get a 9260 for less than the cost of a CTEK 25000 ... seems like a plan. Thanks! :)

That does work and is exactly what we're doing.
My main problem is that when boondocking and before I turn on the inverter, I have to be sure to go outside and unplug the converter/charger in the pass-thru, as it simply plugs into an existing 120VAC socket I had previously installed there. The WFCO's breaker is more convenient. But if your inverter/shore power 120VAC lines are separate, that wouldn't be an issue.
No worries in my case. Originally I fed my trailer "whole house" from the inverter but have since ditched that idea and instead installed dedicated receptacles fed directly by the inverter so there's therefore no need for a transfer switch, no need to turn the converter off. I've already installed a switched 120 vac feed in the front pass through I can use to power the PD9260 and would just be using it to charge / maintain the batteries ... the WFCO I'd just leave turned off permanently.
