SDG,

I was not even aware Blue Sea had other versions than the 500A version.  That's the version that was used when the Wanderlodge owner changed out his OEM relay.

There are only slightly more than 50 450LXi's out and about and much fewer are "active" owners.  So we tend to be a fairly tight family and seem to all take a little ownership in each other's coaches.  Especially since we do not have a factory available to offer assistance anymore.

While I do not do retail conversions, I have done similar in my current coach.  Here's what I started with:
   


and here is where I am now:
   

I've still got to finish installing the shower, as it was completely removed, as you can see by the curved hole in the floor behind the refrigerator.  I've got the shower pan and walls in, I'm working on installing the surround.  I removed all the corian and installed granite in it's place.  MUCH nicer!

The biggest issue I've run into with this renovation has been sourcing folks to provide the materials.  Since everything has been custom, I had to go to Florida for the granite (of all places) and Pennsylvania for the shower materials.  Fortunately, everything else is mostly elbow grease!

I was aware of the heat issues, as that's what typically gets the OEM installed regulators on these rigs.  I was thinking about the inverter/chargers only being in the 140A range, so they're taking as big a strain as the alternators are when first started.  Having had 2 chargers go out in my previous rig, I was curious to see what the collective thought about that.

Good stuff!
