Ok, thanks. I think I will just pull the trigger on this converter. Looking a few other details first.

Can anyone confirm that you DONT need to replace the DC board in the fuse box when you upddate to this PD4655 converter? Looks like it comes with a new DC board (which distributes 12V power and holds all of your DC fuses).

Sound like you replace this board JUST to gain a button and the LED light that show what mode your in (and alows you to change the mode).

I dont see any need for me to change the way the smart charger want to charge so I dont think I would need to change this DC board.

Will it work normal without new board?

Only advantage I see is it would allow you to manualy boost your charging to minimize generator use when in a CG or perhaps conserve fuel while boon docking (or Keep noise down). Gets you to full charge quicker.

But the way I look at it is the smart charger will maintain the battery(S) better for longer life if I just leave it alone.

What do you think?
