2000 Land Yacht converter

Where is it located? It was by the breaker panel in my previous motor homes but not this one.

I discovered it's location while looking for a place to install an inverter when I removed the panel in front of the passenger's chair with the heat and AC ducts. It's mounted up on the right behind the panel.

Mine is in same place, behind panel in front of passenger seat. The original unit was damaged when I plugged into an old 30amp outlet....low voltage is the death of converters and appliances. Bought new replacement from Camping World Orlando and it was about half the size of original unit plus has a cooling fan. Easy to install and no problems since.

I expect I'll be replacing mine when I eventually switch to LifePo batteries.

Make sure that the converter you buy can support LiFePo battery charging. Not all can. I'm using the IOTA DLS55 with an IQ4 module. They have different modules for different battery types. Mine are flooded lead acid so I have the one designed for 4 stage charging of lead acid. They also have a module for LiFePo. The modules just plug into the converter/charger using a short cable that looks like a phone jack cable.

Yes I'm aware I need a compatible converter for LifePo batteries. I'll probably make the change next year.
