Be more descriptive, what do you mean by “black tune looking things”? Can’t tell by looking at your photo.
Its the black tube thing at the bottom of the picture. Its hooked to the silver thing in the corner and hooks to the thing on the right side of the picture. Its almost made of like ceramic. The guy told me its a "Ceramic resistor".
My opinion at this point is that the SCR component in this converter has most likely failed due to an earlier reversed polarity house battery hookup. That black ceramic high temperature resistor may also have been damaged. But since the owner is apparently not familiar with basic electronic component terms, his ability to repair this converter is in doubt. The best solution may be just to have the whole system replaced with a new unit by a qualified RV repair shop.
