Yes the converter is probably either under, behind, or mounted to the back of the fuse panel.
Is the red light next to the switch or part of it. Can you explain what you mean when you say it works on battery power. Does something actually turn on when on battery power, but it does not turn on when plugged in?
Campers of that vintage probably won't have a built in inverter. What you're finding under the hood might be a battery isolator to allow the alternator to charge the house battery.

I did forget to mention, there is a plug/light switch that shows a red light when plugged in to shore power. But it works fine off the battery. I dont know if that shows anything but I found it weird. I didn't know if there could be a gfi plug that's possibly messing with the whole system.
