All NW Campers Have PD Converters?

Someone on a FB group said since 2014, NW has installed Progressive Dynamics in all their units? Is this true?

I've heard a lot of bad about them. 3-4 years and they die.

I just pulled it out. Gonna replace it regardless. Maybe I can get a few bucks for it on CL or ebay.

Recommendations on a PD model?

I said...yet. When it expires, I'll install a PD. Until then, why bother. No point in tossing the baby out with the bathwater

I don't think the 9245 will fit in the WFCO slot. May need to go 9260 or 4600 series.

I think that would be an excellent move. Look at the PD9245C convertor with Intellipower/Charge Wizard. I've had one in my AF811 since new (10 years) and it has been flawless. Regarding the WFCO....it's Chinese junk and does deserve its "bad wrap" as one uninformed member argues. The PD is money well spent. Shop around on the internet such as Amazon or call PD directly for honest info. Just make sure it has the "Charge Wizard " function.

Um no. You have a WFCO. It is fine until you need a fast charge while the generator runs or until it fails.

My old Lance had a Magnatek.

My '14 Wolf Creek has a WFCO 8955 converter with a 3 stage charger. I'll bet all WC's do.

My 2013 AF990 has a PD converter.

Joe, I believe they have been installing them for longer than that, my 2010 AF 25R TT had Progressive Dynamics.
