Most converters are located in close proximity to the 110v shore power receptacle on your RV. Where the receptacle is attached to the unit, your converter is usually not far away. Many are located at floor level and are behind a louvered metal hinged door. If you turn the lights on, you might hear the inverter fan running.

The converter is usually part of, or right behind, the fuse panel.

Looking at an online video, Fuse panel appears to be just to the right side of the frig below the pantry -- brown metal, push to open--converter is behind and below the fuse panel.

We replaced it anyway when we got the camper with a larger one.

Not all convertors are part of the fuse panel and breaker panel assembly. Our Cougar has the fuse and breaker panel way up high in a wall cabinet, but the convertor is in the same dead space as the furnace down on the floor behind the rear basement wall panel. Mine looks like this:

If your fuse and breaker panel looks similar to this in either metal or plastic, then the convertor is very likely in the lower half of the unit behind the louvered face:

If you've got a single panel with the breakers and fuses, but no lower section, then it's more likely that the convertor is somewhere else.

Is there a reason you need to locate it?
