I'd TEST the converter before replacing or repairing a converter that may be working just fine. They're easy to test.
With the RV plugged into 120 volt AC power, you need to disconnect the negative lead from the battery(s). Now you can measure the voltage across the positive and negative leads AT the converter. should read normal voltage which is ugually 13.XX volts. If it has zero voltage, your converter is bad and needs to be repaired or replaced. If you do NOT first disconnect your battery, when you read voltage you will be reading the batteries voltage, not necessarily the voltage of the converter.
Normally your fan on the converter only runs when it needs cooling so it's not running is not an indication of a bad converter by itself.
Good luck / Skip
