Cleaning converter

What do you use to vacuum out your converter. I used a small brush to sweep dust off the components, but there has to be a better way to get way up in there and get it dusted better and not have dust flying in my face when i blow on it.. suggestions?

You're a much better housekeeper than me!! I've had numerous rvs in the last 40 years & NEVER EVER dusted there, for that matter, NEVER EVER thought about it as long as it was working.
So my answer is I DON'T KNOW!!!

I just happened to open the cover and see all the dust piled up on the fuses circuit boards and fan. Figured why not!!

If you travel with four legged friends it is very common for the converter cooling fan to get clogged and cause noise or possibly converter failure. I always vacuumed or blew it out when winterizing and that seemed to be enough. Just one more thing to add to your maintenance list.
