So, rather than swap the PS, they sent the case with the 250 amp PS and the 350 amp PS in a box for me to swap out. I just have to plug it in and see which wires output the 12V.
One question though. With the PC PS, won't the power being outputed by the PS go to the batter as well? Or should an isolator of some type be used to keep the power from going to the battery? Or, would the power going to the battery hurt it? I am no expert in this area of expertise.
I had planned to use a 12V charger to, so I'm glad I read these notes on why not to do that. I do have another idea to run past everyone. I may mount the 12V battery for the camper in the back of my Pickup with a connector to the camper. I'll wire that battery to the truck charging system through an isolator. That way, whenever we go riding around, the camper battery will get re-charged.
Please express your thoughts on these questions.

250-350 amp power supply? must be a heck of a computer. Maybe it is a new combination computer/arc welder.
