Where is my converter?
Can anyone tell me where I'm likely to find my converter in a 2000 Fleetwood Pace Arrow Vision 35R (Triton V10)? I've looked behind the Power Distribution Center (under the fridge) and while there is...

Question: Some of you have said "It should be close to where shore power enters your vehicle"... Why is this.
Now I admit that is where they put it in mine.. (And my converter is not affilated with the power panel or anything else.. So here is the path power takes in my coach.
Power comes in driver's rear, Goes to roughly middle , driver's side, where the transfer switch is, then over a few feed to the middle, center where the power panel is, then all the way back to the rear for the converter, then all the way to the FRONT (driver's side) pausing at the 12 volt panel in the center of the coach, to the Battery control center, then back down, across and back to the engry steps where the batteries live and of course the POSITIVE end of the batteries.... on the rear.. Making the power path for 12 volts as long as possible from the converter to the batteries without looping.
now... If I were designing, i'd put the converter either next to the BCC or next to the batteries themselves.. (likely the BCC) but.. alas, I did not lay it out.
Find the breaker that feeds the converter Pull it and hook up a cable tracker transmitter then search for it with the cable tracker receiver.
NOTE: Pull the breaker or disconnect the wire from it, DO NOT TRACK A LIVE CABLE for two reaons.. Danger and if you try to track a live cable you will track every live wire in the coach, this can get.. tedious.
