That's not the one you need.. you want the PD Model #PD4655V.. It is designed to be a direct swap. The one you have linked is a deck mount. I don't keep up with CA pricing etc. The PD unit is very much better then the WFCO unit.

But here is an Amazon Link

 WF-8955-PEC 30 converter in my 2015 Rpod 180 that after only 1 year,  is no longer working.  Read about how these unit fail fairly regularly.  I just got back from a 4000 km trip to the Yukon and did some gravel road towing and that may have been the cause (vibration).  My batteries are good, (pair of 6 volt only 8 months old and I never let them get below 12.4 volts.  

I have done all the testing in the owners manual and what I have found on the web and have determined the converter is dead. (tested grounds, breakers, fuses etc)

My options are:
1) Replace with same unit (Amazon.ca) for $270 with free shipping.
2) Replace with Progressive Dynamics PD9260CV Inteli-Power 9200 Series 60 Amp Converter/Charger with Built-in Charge Wizard.  Amazon.ca price is about $380.  (Recommended by member on this forum)

Is the Progressive worth the extra $100?

Thanks

Bob
