![]() You can install up to 6 AC “tandem” circuit breakers. (You can now see why I wanted a new converter.) I kept the lights on that circuit, but gave the fan its own circuit, and just installed a water pump on its own circuit. On the old converter’s 6-amp circuit, I connected a dome light (the original and only intent for the circuit), and 3-speed vent fan, two porch lights (one over the door, and one on the other side of the pup, and a utility light. I connected all of the DC wires coming out the back of the converter to a 30-amp terminal strip, and from there to their appropriate locations. I screwed (not stapled!) the new mounting strips from the back side of the panel, then mounted the new unit. ![]() When it dried, I cut out the rectangle for the 8735. ![]() The old ¾” x ¾” wooden strips that the converter was mounted to were stapled onto the paneling with MANY little staples, and it was impossible to remove them, and still preserve the paneling, so I bought a new piece of paneling at The Home Depot, and glued it onto the old one. The paneling where the old converter was placed was very old, splintery, and brittle. The space needed to install the 8735 was ample, but it was slightly larger than the old 6-amp converter (which was not a battery charger). I can’t believe it’s done! The concept of installing it, and connecting it was quite simple, but I ran into some snags mainly due to the way the pup was constructed. I just installed a WFCO 8735 35-amp Power Center in my 1979 Starcraft Starflite 6.
