Thanks for the excellent info regarding batteries and how they're connected. This is the first I've heard of replacing the inverter, and frankly, not sure how I'd know if the one in there now is factory installed or not. Is there an easy way to tell?
Depending on which model Pace Arrow you have the factory CONVERTER is usually mounted somewhere out of the way. On my 36B it's mounted under the sink in the bathroom area. This places it close to the circuit breaker panel, which is another hint on where it might be. In any case Fleetwood doesn't, or at least didn't, install Inverter/Chargers in their Class A Gas motorhomes. They all had Converters only. So if an after-market inverter was installed by a previous owner, then it's probably mounted outside in one of the storage bays, usually close to the batteries. The inverters are typically larger and heavier then converters. Also, they usually have a control panel mounted inside allowing the owner to monitor the inverter and batteries. So, if you don't have any of this then you most likely still have the stock converter.
