pd power converter 4500 90A

My 2011 Montana 3580 came with a 90 A PD 4500 series power control centre. What is your experience with this converter and its ability to power the slides without issues?

Most manufactures recommend always have the battery(s) turned on when operating the slides ... the slide motors use a boat load of current and relying solely on the converter isn't recommmended. Most of us have 50 - 80 amp converters and get along OK since the main power draw is from the battery(s).
