If it was a true converter, it could convert your fat self to your skinny self!
Yeah I know, don't quit my day job.

2012 Avalanche 330RE, our converter is located a few feet away from the fuse panel, accessible by a flexable skinny person by removing a wooden panel from the back side of cabinet.
I plan to relocate mine to a more accessible location.

Have you looked in back of the fusebox?

I don't know your particular model, but most Keystone products tend to use the WFCO fuseboxes, which include a builtin converter in the rear. Loosen four screws around the rim and pull it out slightly to see. (Disconnect shore power and battery first, of course.)

Thanks, it’s an RK model the fuse panel is to the right side of entry steps and the cooling fan was consistently going on and off and lights dimming then cooling fan quit I’m assuming on converter which sounds like behind panel and next morning had no 12 volt power. Hooked up charger to batteries and back in business. Are there fuses on the converter

Breakers AC and fuses DC and converter are usually all in one unit. Converter is behind and/or under.

If you hear a fan, it's there to cool a converter.

I've never changed a converter on a WFCO box, but I've changed others out, and they all had a pair of maxi-size blade fuses on them.

Roughly $150-$290, depending on what amperage converter you're replacing, and whether you want the Charge Wizard (I recommend it).

May not be true back in 2006. My 2002 Cougar has a PARALLAX 45A power converter/distro panel. Best to open the front panel and see if you can spot a label...
