Converter Location
I am a new RV owner, and a rookie at RVs. I have a 1977 Chevy Delta 23 ft Class C, and I plugged it in and had the generator on at the same time and now I can not use the electric when I plug in to 11...

Thanks westend its the 120v breaker that blows, I see no control to change that.... Can't find the converter or inverter what ever its called. Maybe back to the tent thing.... lol
:h
If it is exterior to the RV, there is little chance that it is a malfunctioning converter that is causing the trip. A shorted converter would trip an individual circuit breaker in the RV's load center and the rest of your 120V devices would remain powered.
From the events as explained, the most likely cause is a failed transfer switch. Either the contactors inside the switch are shorted to each other or a wire has parted and is shorted to ground. The solution would be the same in most cases, replacing the transfer switch. An inspection by someone familiar with transfer switches and electrical systems would be the best course of action, IMO.
