Location of converter?

Been having some power problems with my 1988 325 AS MH.

So far the circuit breaker and another part of the power system have been replaced, but it looks like the converter is bad and might be the key to getting my power working again. But The manual does not show where it's located. We think it may be under the stove.

Any ideas?

Robert

Probably under a bunk near a hidden AC outlet and the main DC fuse panel is within a few feet of it. But you never know. In my 1984 270 it was under the bunk just aft of the door

Robert, on your unit it is most likely under stove, behind the 12V fuse panel.
No need to remove the stove, you should be able to get to it from the front.

Thanks and a question

Thanks Peter!

Can you or anyone else recommend a replacement model?

Also, it appears there is a panel below the stove that is attached from the inside. So the stove may have to be pulled.

I have a 1995 30' cutter and the converter is on the firewall in the driver's side foot well.

What I ordered

FB9 9 Position DC Fuse Panel

BD 1265C Boondocker BD1265C (65 Amp 4-Stage Converter/Charger)

Decided since it looks like the stove is going have to be pulled might as well get a more modern fuse panel and move that to a location that can be easily accessed.

I have a diesel pusher on Freightliner chassis. Converter was in front of passenger seat behind a wood carpeted panel. I upgraded it to a 75amp converter from Camping World with a cooling fan. No problems since it was replaced.
