2000 pace arrow vision 36B cabin battery converter.

would like to know where the cabin converter is located, and where it is (ac) powered from.

It seems to have failed or blown a fuse.

Any help appreciated. Thanks, Dave

  • First of all, your battery charger/converter might be plugged into a receptacle that is GFI protected. So check for a tripped GFI or tripped 15/20 amp circuit breaker in your breaker box first.

    On my 1997 Bounder, there was a silver box with a 45 amp rating on it. It also had two fuses in the 30 amp range. If one blows, then the total output tries to go through the other for a few seconds until it is overloaded too.

    IT was located in the basement, drivers side, smallest compartment on mine. Probably not going to be in a slide out compartment in yours. Might be below the fuse box? Mine is not near the 12 volt or 120 volt circuit breakers.

    It will be a silver box, with a 45 - 60 amp rating, and two large DC wires leaving it. It will also plug into a nearby receptacle in the basement. You can order any new converter from this place. BestConverter.com I would recommend something in the 45 - 65 amp range. Beyond 65 amps, the charger normally will only put out about 50 amps to 4 golf cart batteries, or 30 amps to a pair of 12 volt batteries. You would only need a 75 amp charger if you dry camp a lot and have 6 batteries. You do not have to go with the same brand or amp rating, However the amp rating is what the wire is sized for, so changing to a 75 amp from a 45 amp stock might mean upgrading the wiring to #4 wire to take advantage of all that additional ability to charge the battery.

    I ended up replacing the converter with a Trace inverter/charger back in 1996.

    Good luck!

    Fred.
