WHY do you think this? what are your symptoms? Fuses are generally located near/next to the breaker box.... sometimes at the foot of the bed, or nearby floor cabinet... sometimes in the bath cabinet.

Find your 120vac power panel, its where the circuit breakers are. Converter is a part of the panel. (educated guess) Or you could follow your battery cable to the converter.

circuit breaker is on normal circuit board. fuses are on back of converter. I can see converter looking behind circuit breaker box, but can't reach it. Looked at basement wall and don't see easy way of removing it to get inside. Think fuses are blown because I shorted battery wire when reinstalling battery.

there could be 2x 30a fuses (or other AGM size) fuses on your converter. Good troubleshooting, now, you gotta get skinny. Can you just pull out your panel to access the converter? Disconnect your battery ground first!!

May be the only way to get to converter is pulling panel and reaching in, but I'm thinking basement wall may have to come out. Just have to empty basement, which I just packed planning to leave on trip tomorrow.

Figures! We had a 5ver that had the converter, water pump, water heater all in the front storage compartment, but behind 'false front' panels. So one had to head in on the belly to do any work. Now that was fun!

But you do get the opportunity to put all your stuff back in more efficiently this time! And don't forget to disconnect the .......well you know.......
