Great video. Showed me just what I need to do!! 👍

My WFCO converter in my Model WF-8735P Power Center just died in my 2015 TAB S Max trailer, so this video was very interesting. I still have a lead acid battery in the trailer, but converting to lithium soon is my goal, so I want to replace my current failed power center. I've heard there are two choices in replacing your power center when you upgrade to lithium: One is the WFCO Model WF-8735AD as you show in this video, and the other is the WFCO Model WF-8740AD. I am wondering if the WF-8740AD is a newer version that has come out since this video, which might now be what I should replace with?

Hi Greg. Great video - thanks! We ran into your brother, Robin, at the Lake Wenatchee State Park meetup for Vistabule owners. We no longer have a Vistabule (now proud owners of a 2024 inTech Sol Eclipse), but as former owners, Ingrid and I went to the meetup and had a great time. Camping is awesome regardless of what equipment we use. Keep up the good work!

Hi Greg, I am looking to make the exact same change on my Ranger 12 A-Liner, I have the 8735P as well. I appreciate your video, very well done! Got an e-mail from WFCO today telling me I should not swap converters if my battery is more than 10 ft. away from the converter. Curious to know how far apart your battery and converter are and is the cabling to your battery #10 wire gauge. Thanks, Dave

Well done!!!!

The red light comes on and off then back to green by the fuse that’s labeled 6 - 30 amp battery fridge. I believe this is why my battery runs low at times causing my fridge to alarm. Any idea what cause this? Should I check the wire connection? Great video

I'm going to buy a lithium power charger for my lithium batteries INSTEAD of replacing my old power converter. My question for you Greg is, for those DC wires on the right side, it should be easy enough to open it up and see where the DC output to charge the batteries comes from right? Basically, I want to dead end that cable so that my system can remain powered from the new lithium battery, but I want to disable charging to the lithium battery from the power converter. I have the WFCO 8935PEC.

You can replace just the converter. You don't have to replace the entire wall unit. czcams.com/video/Op4psTri6ig/video.html for example.

General rule when pitching waste pipe, it should pitch a 1/4 inch per foot. On a level, that is the line past the level line. The edge of bubble should just touch that. They make levels to show the correct pitch. If you pitch the pipe too much, the water will leave the paper and waste behind, causing a blockage over time. I admire your bravery in getting the job done and for the most part you got it done right. On a good note, you had the forethought to prevent getting flush in your face!🤣😂🙂

Nice job Greg! I do appreciate the help!!

It 👍 to see more videos Greg

Thank you for saving me and giving me a second chance of life and forever home now and God was there for you and hugs and kisses and prayers and love you all gave me

Being in Texas... our camping season is winding down...we like to camp October -May :D We are taking a 30 day trip come june but getting the heck out of Texas. Will be passing through your neck of the woods (ID, WA, OR) and I am looking forward to the PNW- group up in the south sound area and haven't been back in 20 years! Happy Camping!

Does the 8735ad charge the house battery when plugged into shore power ?

It looks like you had a lot of extra wire. I was wondering if it was possible to leave the wires hooked up and pull the unit out a foot or so? It seems like it would be easier to disconnect and connect the wires plus you could move them over one at a time. This would only work if you had enough slack.

Wish that camping world would have mention those tabs. Thanks so much!

This was sooo helpful. I have the same power converter as you started with. I also just upgraded to a lithium battery. As I understand it, the lithium battery needs a little more voltage than the lead acid. If I upgrade the auto detect will solve thi?

Hi, excelente vídeo. Do you need any kind of permit from the county to do that type of work? And do you need any type of permit for parking your RV in your property and have guests staying there? Thank you.

Really nice video! Good info. Eager to see what you have in store for your 2024 season!

It looks like you are at the State Park.

We call those pudgy pies in Wisconsin, one of our go to are pizza pudgy pies. It's simple, butter, bread, pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese and any other topping you want in it. Apple Pie pudgy pies are also great; butter, bread, apple pie filling. I just bought my first RPod 179, if I come across a rally in WI I'll try to go to it.

Looking to get a spare WF-8955-AD in case my orginal 8955 fails. Also I want to install an EMP shield on mine. Unfortunately, my converter box is in a small space under my rv fridge. Not much room to work. Thanks for the tips.

my 1989 terry resort has stock 30 amp fuse panel i ordered the wfco 30 amp an i got the 55 amp wf-8955 model.... can i still use this on my 30 amp system?

QUESTION: Just found your channel! Am enjoying it - well done! You make it fun. Looks like this is a Suburban water heater? Does it matter where the two black wires connect to switch? Where is ground and neutral? Thanks much.

Exactly what I was looking for!!! Thank you for sharing this.

very helpful video thanks for posting

Thanks Greg! This is going to be very helpful for me.. so nice to see someone do this who hasn't already done it a million times. Thanks again!

I LOVE this. I wish I had the building skills that are needed.

Always enjoy your videos.

nice - thanks for sharing. I like your easy to follow winterization video.

So funny that your end of season is our beginning :D

Thank you Greg for creating this wonderful Thank you video. It was so fun hosting this event. Lots of ghouls and goblins joined in the fun. Already planning next year! See everyone in 2024!

Looks like a wonderful time with good friends.

I've been struggling for awhile now on how to build a pet door in my basement window. This gives me some ideas thank you

What a great video, so much fun watching and yes we will see you camping in 2024.

Loved the video portion about Voyageurs National Park 😊

Great video

I don't usually have a fire for just me, so I cook with pie iron on the propane stove. I like pizza made in one.

What is the Bluetooth battery monitor make/model you mention in the video? It seems very useful!

that awesome.

Thanks 🙏 I’m thinking 🤔 I just may have to look at this option for my Rv dump instead of digging up the inlet pipe to my septic tank.

I'm planning the same job on my Jayco 145RB. Same converter swap. Supper helpful!

You need to hold the connections together for a minute or they could move and separate, for future users to read.

Great video!

Don't go for the WFCO auto detect unit. It's a tremendous pain to get it to recognize LiFePo batteries...if you can get it to work at all. The WFCO auto detect requires you to completely discharge your lithium battery, and then run through a complete charge cycle before it's supposed to detect the different response of the lithium vs. lead-acid. It failed to detect my new lithium battery. And I've seen reports of issues with the AD unit forgetting the lithium setting...forcing you do do the full discharge and long auto detect charging cycle repeatedly. The Progressive Dynamics 4100 has a similar form factor to the WFCO 8735 and it has a simple switch for selecting between lead-acid and lithium modes.

I'm guessing that not all rv's have 12v "cigarette lighter" sockets that are usually for tv hookup along with a cable jack,but that's how I wired my inverter. I removed the wall plate 12v socket, and used the 12 volt feed to power my inverter. It's only a 200w/400w peak for powering a TV/ and DVD player or game console should we boondock on a rainy day sort of thing. My old trailer that I'm about to replace has 2 separate locations on either end. The new one that I'm taking delivery of in a couple weeks has 1 so far that I've found. Though I don't know why newer rvs don't have inverters from factory instead.... I'm also upgrading to a dual battery system as well.

Shame we can't just replace the converter board. I would like to upgrade my8735AD to a 45 amp unit.

I thought the converter alone could be replaced without replacing the entire power center? Is this not an option because you upgraded to the one that will charge Lithium?

You made that look so easy. Thank you.
