VerifiedI definitely recommend the replacement from Camping World.
The replacement is very easy, and the new module comes with very clear instructions.
Just so you know, the replacement is just the "bottom half", and does not replace the distribution box itself, just the converter module at the bottom and the re-designed 12V fuse block. It takes about 1/2 hr. probably for you to replace.
Let me know if you need more information.
Your converter is probably a Magnetek, which was purchased by Parallax and Progressive Dynamics. Camping World sells Progressive Dynamics brand, and therefore is a direct brand replacement for yours. Having said that, all brands currently available at RV supply stores are relatively comparable in quality.
If you are thinking of the progressive Dynamics replacement from Camping World, they sell a 45 and 55 Amp model, in your case either one is probably okay, but you might want the 55 to cover off your current 50A model.
