converter

Okay, got drawers removed, no converter, was relay switch (gen, shore power and panel info.
Where is converter? Auxiliary batteries are not charging and no 12v power to lights unless I start coach. Any input to troubleshoot.....

Check the connections between the converter and the battery. Some converters require a battery (or something that seems enough like a battery to fool it) in order to output their rated voltage.

If you do end up wanting or needing to get a new replacement converter, the place that seems to be overwhelmingly recommended here is bestconverter.com; they're reputable and knowledgeable and have competitive prices.

Not in wardrobe. I'll look under reefer. Fuse panel in bedroom and have not found breakers except on genset. Thanks for areas to look.

In my Class C, it is behind the breaker box/12v distribution panel. You have to pull that out of the wall to get to it.

Likewise, if you do have a standalone deck mount converter, it can be hidden just about anywhere. Sometimes you can listen for a hum or fan noise to help locate it. Newer converters are more likely to be silent or very nearly so, while some older ferroresonant converters hum rather obtrusively.

My motorhome came with a deck-mount (separate) converter located behind a panel under the pantry, while the electric distribution panel was on the opposite side of the motorhome.

Like the previous post said, the converter may be the lower part of the electrical distribution center, not recognizable as a converter at all. So if you're looking for a 1 pc......stand alone.... separate converter, there may not be one.

Jim,

You might need to ask this question in the class A forum and then come back to the tech issues forum with the trouble shooting. Someone with a Bounder will know where it's located but may not see the question in this forum.

Most converters are located near the fuse box. Some are part of the fuse box.

good luck.

Probably near the stack of breakers and fuses.

Look under the refer. In one for sale there is a panel about 10 inches tall and 24 inches wide. It should hinge down. Converter could be there.
Could be in wardrobe in the bedroom.
