| How many amps can a replacement for the Magnatek be? I am looking at the Progressive Dynamics 30 vs 45a versions. |

I replaced mine with a Victron 20A charger, and it's fine. The victron unit very compact, and works really well. |

Depending on your model year, there are either 30 or 40 amp fuses in the circuit going to the house battery. Therefore I would not recommend trying to charge above 30 A. I have a Victron IP 22, 30 amp charger and it works great.

| If you're going to replace your MagneTek, which I think most everyone would agree is a good idea, I strongly second (third?) the Victron IP 22. It's a great charger and the control via bluetooth is unmatched in it's price range. A great way to future proof your charging system. |

UPDATE: I found a mobile RV guy who came over just a few days after we connected. I found out he is a recent Ukrainian refugee and could not have been nicer, smarter, friendlier, more well-equipped or patient, letting me hang out with him and ask questions etc. He hadn't worked on a Eurovan before but using the instructions I printed out from xochi.com and 1705.net, and a liberal use of chatgpt (!), he got it done in 4 hours. I ended up using the Victron IP22 and all is well.
