Good MorningI hope I am not posting this question twice it went away into computerland but I do not know where.I have a 2002 Holiday Rambler Endeavor, diesel pusher. It has been parked awhile and is pouting. I have AC power. Everything AC related works, the gen works, microwave etc. The Trace (Xantrex) Freedome Marine 1500 works, the KIB, 16616109, works. I have no power to the DC fuse panel. Is there a convertor hiding somewhere that I am missing? Would I be looking at the convertor or maybe wiring or maybe???????? Does someone know where the convertor would be locatedAny help appreciatedThanksPam

The converter is fed by a circuit breaker in your panel. To find the converter follow the 120V feed circuit back from the service panel to the converter. Should be in the same area....

Thanks having trouble finding the convertor. I have both the ac and dc fuse panels out and did not find it. The fuse boxes are right about the battery compartment. I will keep lookingThanksPam

Isn't the Trace Freedom an inverter/charger?

It sure is... So do you know where the inverter is?Looks kinda like this:

When You say no DC are You sure that the Store/Use switch is set to the Use Mode?Do You have power at the Batteries? Your Genset starts so I imagine the Engine does as well.

Hi Pam,

Don't beat yourself up. I tore out my hair last winter because I thought I had a wiring fault--when what I had was a bad extension cord. What made it worse is that I had two identical cords. One was good--and the other was not.

Thanks for all the help. Found that the switch by the door was bad so took it out and when I touched the wires the lights came on. Guess I must be getting old took my 1/2 the day to figure out I had a bad switch
Thank You again for the help

Check out this site to learn more about these systems. I too bet you have a "salesman switch" that has been bumped.

I do not know where a store/use switch is located. Have never used one in the past. I have owned this for 5 years and have never had this problem. Power to both sets of batteries. Started both engine and gen. The KIB inverter panel shows batteries charged but when I hit the check levels nothing happens, the water heater and water pump do not work. Nothing lights up.
I will try to trace the wiring again
Thanks for all the answers

Yes the Xantrex is inverter/charger. The inverter part works fine. I turned off the shore power and the inverter switched the AC on. I did not know the inverter would also be the converter. I guess my problem must be in the wiring connecting the inverter to the DC panel. I pulled the DC fuse panel and see a large red wire on the input lug so will have to find its origin.
Thanks again. I will try to find a way to follow the input wire to the fuse box.
