yes but why do that much work Two methods
1: identify the CONV breaker in your breaker panel or
2: The MAIN if you can not identify the CONV
Turn on lights and/or roof vent fan (Fantastic fan) Look and listen wioth the breaker off for one minute. now turn it on. Within 30 seconds the fan should speed up and in MOST cases lights get brighter if the converter is working.. NOTE this does not necessarly apply to some very old units not made since the turn of the century
With a multi-meter.. let rig sit converter off for 30 minutes and measure voltage either at converter connections or battery terminals NOTE voltage
Now turn on converter and re-measure and again in 30 minutes
post all readings and we will tell you.
