Converter location?

My 2005 Pace Arrow has absolutely no DC power. TV and microwave work, but nothing else, including chassis battery. I suspect the problem to be in my converter, but cannot find it. I did locate a small inverter, but not converter. Removed exterior panel behind refrigerator and it was not there? I think I know how to trouble shoot converter, if I could only find it. Any help will be appreciated.

In my PA it's under the refrigerator. A deck type. Once came unplugged from the 120vac outlet that powers it. Tie wrapped it in place to preclude a reoccurrence.

Converter location

I failed to state that I have a Pace Arrow 36 D. The refrigerator is located on the full wall slide and does not have converter beneath. Found a breaker panel beneath the china cabinet along with a removable wood panel, but still no converter. Will continue search tomorrow.

My 2005 Pace Arrow's 36D converter is located under the bottom kitchen drawer. You can see it from the bottom wide drawer or the narrow one. It' sits right between the two drawers. I had to remove the big drawer and open the small one to get at it. I replaced mine last year before it failed with a more modern multi- stage charging converter.

Good luck!

Thanks Easy Pace. You were spot on. Found my converter beneath the smaller cabinet drawers. Determined that AC receptacle was dead. Ground fault recep would not reset and was found to be defective, causing the entire problem .

Glad to be of help!

I'll have to remember that the ground fault receptacle can cause all of this.

Cheers!
