There should be an inverter control panel near the rest of your electrical management panel.

I have no Holiday Rambler experience but not all MHs have inverters. I don't have one on mine and have never had one on my 4 MHs. I also have never felt the need for it.

Quesiton: Does your unit have an inverter to find? IT is usually an option.
My coach (Different make) did not come with one,, But the Prosine in the basement is.. Well,, after market addition.

Look at the charger, you might have an inverter/charger, that's what I have.

In your main breaker panel do you have a breaker labled Inverter or Coach Power?
If not, you probably do not have an inverter.

On our '05, the inverter is in the right front overhead and it only provides AC power to the TV/VCR equipment. Our system has a EMS with an inverter/converter - charger located just aft of the battery compartment behind the right rear wheel well. Hope that helps. Bob

Are you asking about an INVERTER or a CONVERTER. An INVERTER changes 12 volts DC to 110-120 volts AC. A CONVERTER changes 110- 120 volts AC to 12 volts DC to charge the chassis and/or the house batteries and to supply 12 volts to the house lights, refer control board, water pump, etc.

Most gas motorhomes of this era offer a voltage inverter as an upgrade/option. A voltage converter would be standard.

Inverter?
In my 2003 Holiday Rambler Vacationer there is no inverter. But the converter is in the driver's side rear compartment.

We just recently purchased a 2005 Alfa SeeYa and found the inverter behind the steps leading into the coach. It wasn't 2 days after arriving back home that the thing went out on us. To make a long story short we ended up vacuuming out the area and blowing all the dirt and stuff out of the inverter itself. Works like a champ and haven't had a problem since. I'm hoping it had just overheated.
