This RV power control center combines an AC/DC panel with a smart converter charger. Creating easy access to your electrical connections, this all-in-one breaker box distributes AC and DC loads to your RV and charges your batteries while connected to shore power. It's compatible with lithium and lead acid batteries.
The panel supplies AC and DC distribution to your RV's electrical system. The AC section includes space for up to 3 breakers rated for 120V at 30 amps. This lets you have up to 6 branch circuits when you use tandem breakers. The DC section has 12 branch fuse holders capable of using (2) 30 amp and (10) 20 amp fuses. However, you will need to purchase AC breakers and DC fuses separately to complete the installation.
Once all of your connections are made, the breakers and fuses are easily accessible by opening the door on the front of the box. The door also includes a blank label to list all of the connections.
The integrated converter charger changes AC shore power into DC power to charge your battery bank. It includes an output mode switch that lets you choose either lithium or lead acid batteries. No matter what type of battery is installed in your RV, you'll always have the most efficient charging profile. If your RV already has a stock converter charger, it will need to be removed to ensure this unit operates properly.
In lithium mode, the unit uses a higher output voltage, which provides a fast, complete charge. It also extends battery life since it utilizes the appropriate charging profile. Additionally, this mode is compatible with your battery's internal Battery Management System (BMS), which helps manage the charge cycle by monitoring the battery state and balancing cell voltage.
In lead acid mode, the Charge Wizard automatically switches voltages while your lead acid battery bank charges. This accelerates the charge but also helps extend battery life by adjusting the voltage during the different modes. This function is compatible with flooded lead acid, AGM, and gel batteries.
Charging Modes
The system includes a number of safety features. It has a reverse polarity protection that will protect the converter if the battery is hooked up incorrectly. Additionally, the unit includes protection for overvoltage, undervoltage, and overcurrent, which can damage your equipment, as well as the converter. The built-in cooling fan also removes excess heat from the unit. The fan speed is proportional to the internal temperature of the converter, so when the power demand is low, the fan will operate quietly.

It can go from lead acid AGM to lithium in a flick of a switch !
It is intillegent can can float and trickle , no more FULL on like the OEM.
So far so good!
It is not a direct replacement for the unit it replaced. I tried to install for a year, then spent $400 to have a shop run another wire (ground?) and install it. Seems to work ok for the week or so it's been in. Next time I'll make sure it's a direct replacement
I am very happy with the progressive dynamics RV converter. It was not hard to install because I was taking out an existing unit that was the same except it would not charge lithium batteries. I have not received my lithium batteries yet, but I'm hopeful it charges them. Well, I have no reason to think it won't. This unit is charging better than the one I took out..
I have always like buying from etrailer because the prices are reasonable, fast shipping and lots of information on their products.
Prompt delivery with great telephone su pport.
just what I needed
Hooked the system up this evening and it didn't run anything.. didn't even power on.. no lights, no fan, no indicator lights ran directly from shore power..
Perfect, as always!
Works well and easy installation. I got it after I went with the lithium batteries so it will charge them properly.
Only con is that it doesn’t have LED lights beside each fuse like my old one did. So easy to see if you have a blown fuse with the lights.
This power center was easy to install and seems to be working well. However, the wiring diagram on the back of it is small and difficult to read. Maybe I am missing it, but there does not seem to be a buss to connect negative 12v wires to. I think I will have to purchase one separately and install it behind the cabinet the power center is attached to.

The power center is working well now after a year. I did end up purchasing a separate negative 12v grounding buss, which is also working well.
the converter works great
Good experience, happy
Can’t say much about the product as I’m not home until tomorrow. Shipping couldn’t have been any quicker. All representatives I spoke with were top shelf. Thanks for the excellent service
Dynamics RV converter is better quality than original equipment

performing as expected
The converter arrived without its original packaging and in a box that was too small to protect it. It also did not contain any documentation or manuals. I use Progressive Dynamics converters all the time so I didn't want to rate the product poorly, but the packing and shipping was really awful
Replaced my RV's existing unit with this one. The documentation provided was well written which made the install go smoothly. The unit is compact taking up much less space then the old one and I especially like that the access door opens to the side instead of swinging down like the old unit.
Quality is excellent but I ended up returning this and went with a separate PD5500 series panel and a Progressive Dynamics 60 watt converter. I did this because the PD5500 has two A/C bus bars that allow me to separate breakers that I only want powered by shore power from those I want powered on both shore and inverter power. The inverter has a built in transfer switch but installing it on a shared bus creates an unwanted loop.
I upgraded from a WFCO factory unit and this one is WAY better. It treats my SLA batteries properly, which is the reason I got it, but it is also far quieter and does not run as hot. Beware though that it has a smaller footprint that the equivalent WFCO so I had to install a mounting stud on one side and figure out how to hide the bigger hole.
Works great
The unit was as ordered,but packed very poorly for shipment (electronics) No padding,peanuts or even newspaper was used. The face and door were damaged due to careless and haphazard prep.
This is no way to ship equipment like this.

Thank you for the review! Our customer service team should be reaching out to you in the near future.
Shipment was lost in transit. E trailer reo handled it quickly and got a new one on the way.
Easy to set up, works well and serves all my power needs with shore power and without.
Everyone has always been very professional and helpful. Appreciate and enjoy working with your team.
Bought this unit to install in my "Skoolie". Installation was easy, works great.
Oem converter died during a cross country trip last fall. Was looking for an upgrade replacement, found it at etrailer! Have yet to install it but looks pretty straight forward
