Where is my 120v to 12v DC Inverter?

I have a 2004 Sunnybrook 30 foot 5th wheel that I just purchased. Have owned trailers for many years and I can't find the inverter in this rig anywhere. Is there anyone here who could help me??

Thank you,
Bob
  • First lets get to the correct terminology.

    A converter changes 120v A/C to 12v D/C.

    An inverter changes 12v D/C to 120v A/C.

    Now if you are looking for your converter start by finding you fuse/breaker box. Now figure out how to get behind it or under it. You should find your converter there or very close to there. I have a different type and year of trailer but my converter was actually plugged into an outlet on the bottom of my fuse/breaker box. and the cord was only maybe 2 feet long.
  • Bob, do you mean converter?

    converter does 120Vac to 12Vdc.

    inverter does 12Vdc to 120Vac.
  • You won't likely find an INverter. You will likely find a CONverter. Just follow the humming noise.

    Wow..your first post in 9 years. Must be a record.
