Power convertor?

Hey everyone, I have a 2010 raptor 5th wheel. I am having a problem with my lights dimming/surging, while ether the generator is running or hooked up to shore power.

Where is the convertor located?

anyone with a newer raptor, what convertor does yours have? If I replace I might as well get the latest.

  • Follow your battery cables, usually the batteries are close to the converter/charger. On our previous Raptor it was located behind the main door, sort of under the stairs, had to remove the wall to the left of the storage compartment to access it.
  • Is the converter running all the time? Is it "whistling"? We had this issue once and I thought it was the battery. When I checked the battery it had boiled over and two cells were fried dry. So, I got a new inverter and a new battery. The inverter had blown the top on two capacitors too.
    That's been two years ago and I just had to replace that battery. This time I went with a lot bigger amp battery.
  • Got the batteries new from Costco. Got the newest ones they had too. What would be the process of testing them to make sure I didn't get a bad cell
