Need new lithium converter

We have a 2017 FC 27' and we plan to upgrade to an Epoch 300ah single battery. We currently have the Boondocker BD-1260-HW which is screwed into the old carcass that fits under the fuse panel. We purchased this from Randy and BestConverter and have not had any issues with it. According to Randy they make a BD-1260-HWL that is lithium compatible. I asked about Progressive Dynamics and they also make a converter that will work electrically, but Randy did not know if it would fit.

I'd kind of like to buy American, so I'd like to know if anyone knows a Progressive Dynamics converter that will fit our Airstream. Any other feedback is welcome.

Hi

In a lot of cases, "American Made" means they buy a bunch of Chinese parts and simply plug them together in the US. 99% of the "work" is done in China ....

I'd go with a converter from somebody you can talk to on the phone and who knows how it will work in your trailer ....
