Not sure if it is the same, but mine is under the fridge, buried in behind a fuse panel.

Appreciate your response. Don't think so for me. I have a galley slide that includes the refridge. I don't see any access panel under the fridge.

Unplug from shore power... turn everything off so it's quiet. Now flick on a few lights and walk around listening for a hummmmm.

I had a look at your plan and the only area that I can see would be in the bedroom and probably under the bed.

That's how I found mine, except I didn't even have to unplug from shore power. My converter supplies the 12v power even when I'm plugged in. After turning on more than 2 or 3 lights, I can here the fan on the converter kick on.

The converter only works when plugged to shore power. Why would it hum if unplugged?

A friend of mine has an '03 Pace 37C and it is under the washer/dryer in the bath. Or if you don't have the washer option, it would be on the floor at the bottom of the wall between bath and galley, under whatever is there. There is also an access panel from the galley side. A real pain to get at - I know cause I replaced it for him!

If it's under the bed, then it's in a slide out since the bed slides out. I'm suspecting it's located somewhere under the rear closest. The closet takes up the entire rear of the coach.
It's a WFCO 8800 series converter, and it could be just about anywhere. I'm suspecting it is not working at all since it is not charging the house batteries. If I'm correct, there may not be a fan sound to listen for.
Please keep the suggestions coming. They are most appreciated.

Oh boy. That'll be problematic to get to. I'll check it out. Thanks.

By looking at the print it shows it under the washer/dryer in the bath room

Yes it is under the washer/dryer. There's an access panel in the hallway outside the bathroom that gives very easy access to the converter. At first glance, I thought the panel was an air return, but not so. Found it, and fixed things. The plug had vibrated out of the electrical receptical.
Thanks, all. Happy traveling.
