Your converter is either the bottom half of the power distribution panel ( breakers and fuses) or a stand alone that is most likely near the panel. You may have to remove the panel to access it.

If you locate it, there will be a label telling you how many amps it is, and you may want to upgrade.

You might start by putting together a signature with year, make and model of your camper and the same for your tow vehicle. Is installing a converter difficult? If you can't find it most likely it will be difficult for you. I know you have a Copper Canyon 5th wheel but they made different models in 2007. You will get far more specific and in-context answers with the signature I suggested. It is under the UserCP at the top/left of every page and don't forget to save it. Folks here can walk you through fixing the issue with a bit more info. How do you know the converter is bad?

Before ordering a new, replacement converter of any brand or amperage output, if you have not yet located the converter, I'd ask how you effectively did any troubleshooting to even determine if the converter is defective????

You may be correct, and the converter may be defective and need replacement, but there are lots of other causes for "converter issues" that are not related to a "replacement needed".... Things like blown fuses, loose converter wiring, loose or defective power center low voltage connections, shorted 12 volt wires in the basement, bad battery/batteries, corroded DC mini-breakers or loose connections there, and there's a host of other "conditions that should be checked before declaring the converter "bad"....

If you don't know where it's located, how can you have determined that it needs replacement ???? Save yourself some money "throwing new parts at it" until you have done some reliable troubleshooting to determine what's not working properly.....
