So I went to get our Rpod 180 out of the storage lot and immediately noticed that the door frame was bent. Som A##hole(s) broke into our trailer and stole 5 of the puck lights, the CO detector, and the electric converter. In each instance the item was just ripped out leaving broken/shredded wires dangling. My first need is to replace the electric converter asap but....I don't know what was in there. 
I'm hoping a fellow podder might have the information on the original for a 2017 180. Any replacement tips would also be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

When our RP179 was produced, pretty much all of them came with a WFCO converter. I think there was a manufacturing problem with some batch of them, and many were able to replace the WFCO with a Progressive Dynamics version.

That all said, if I were shopping today, I'd get one of those two, but I would look for one that is built to manage LFP batteries (different charging profile).

Man, so sorry that happened to you. Hope you get the 179 back on the road. As Glue Guy said, the majority are WFCO. Also agree to get one that supports LifePO batteries
