Yup, as mentioned the reason for the WFCO charger is the same reason they do not use military grade bullet resistant tires, shock absorbers, high strength axels, disc brakes, four season insulation etc. etc. The market will not pay for them nor in most cases do they need them.
Those few that do indeed need these features, usually only need them after they have developed that need through their evolving camping style.
It is nice to know that the options are available when you decide which of them you need but there is no use paying for something you do not need.
The ORV Black Rock series does have 4 season insulation, shocks, off-road frame & axles, etc. But it also has this forum proclaimed evil WFCO WF8955PEC.
I'm really getting confused by this discussion as I can't tell if the "problems " are due to the charge controller quality, or due to manufacturer stupidity, or due to forum talk that disproportionately focuses on a few failures.
