Figured might as well get one that has the 4 stage charging and good reputation. It only took 20 minutes or so to install it. The pictures in the instructions are a little dark so it took me longer to figure out how it mounts then to install it. I could do it in ~5 minutes now that I know. The black plastic piece mounts where the old converters hold down screws are located. The little Charge Wizzard remote sits perfectly in a cutout right behind the dark plastic Plexiglas so you can see the LED. Hopefully this one will live up to it's reputation.

Thanks for this post. If mine ever goes I plan to buy the same PD 4655 MBA model.
http://www.bestconverter.com/PD4655M...l#.WLHcopLEif0
Here is a video on installing the standard 4655. The MBA model doesn't come with a replacement 12VDC board but does come with the pendant. PD says it's the same as the 9200 series but without the casing and it's hard wired to the AC side of the power distribution panel the same as the WFCO so it doesn't need an extra 120 VAC outlet to plug into. Plus it comes with 2 fans rather than the single fan in the 9200. If you want to install the converter closer to the batteries you'd have to go with the 9200 series model.

Extended the top kids bunk by 8 inches in width. My 7 year old was crammed up there with his stuffed animals. Now there is plenty of room. (2017 Coachmen Chaparral 390QSMB)

You answered the mail with minimal expense. She will be happy with you. She can still keep the money she finds in the pockets, right?

Hello from Eugene Oregon
Hello from the northwest! My name is Martin. I have two boys 16&10 years old, and a beautiful wife. We love camping and just purchased our first travel trailer. It is a 2017 293rbks Coachmen Catalina Legacy Edition. I'm pulling this with my Lincoln Mark lt (let's see how this does)... hope you guys are ready for a bunch of questions...

Replaced my original stop/turn tail lights with stop/turn/backup ones. I had to run a wire from the 7 blade trailer connector back to the new tail lights for the backup to work.

We have a counter on each side of our bed with an outlet in the front of each. The counter was over 24 inches deep. I though, "What a waste of space."
So I ripped it out, moved the outlet to the wall next to our bed, made a custom drawer to fit the exact opening (my first time building one) and remounted the cabinet with a deep drawer. I have it all together except for the drawer front which I hope to make tomorrow.
Pics below are some of the process.

That empty space is what made your TT an ULTRAlite.
Now you've made it a Mini Lite!

We have the same counters in our Microlite 23 LB and we have wanted to do the same thing you have done. Can you tell me how you took the whole thing out? How is it attached?
