converter/charger question

I've searched the archive's and cannot determine if what I have in my 2004 Georgetown XL is a converter/charger or not. Please forgive my dumbness but What I have is a WF-8930/50. This is printed on the distribution panel,but does not say charger. I don't seem to be charging my batteries when on shore power. If this is not the charger then where would I find it in my coach. Example,if I turn on the fridge it draws the batteries down to nothing. The fridge is plugged into 110 on outside of coach at panel but does not work without the battery switch being on? Sorry that this is so long but I am taking a trip in 2 weeks and would like to have the peace of mind that this is working. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank's

How much boondocking, wilderness camping do you do? Without benefit of plugging in?

The WF-8930/50 is a WFCO AC/DC Distribution Panel.....used for either 30A AC service OR 50A AC service and 12V DC.

The converter positive is attached to one of the lugs at top of DC Fuses (should be 2nd from left next to battery positive cable) and converter negative should be left of DC Fuses on vertical terminal strip.

The converter is located behind panel.......with a WF dist. panel you have a WFCO converter.

You can test converter output while on Shore power and battery disconnect off....with 110V AC in converter output should be 13.6V DC.

Contact BestConverter.com for replacement and better info.

That is just the distribution panel as seen here.

Your converter could be just about anywhere. Ours was under the drawer below the stove!

Even if it's plugged in to the 120 AC your fridge will need 12 volts to run the control board . It shouldn't draw a lot of current.

Your converter should look something like this.
