Progressive Dynamics 4100 Power Center Installation in a Pop Up RV

Fast forward links below!
This is how I removed my pop-up's ELX-30 power center and installed a new Progressive Dynamics 4100 Power Center into my 2006 Starcraft Pop Up. The process includes removing the old power center, mapping the 12V DC wires, tracing unknown 12V DC wires, installing 120V circuit breakers, connecting all wires, altering the camper paneling for the new power center, and testing the functionality.
