I concur that the hum is from the converter fan. On our 2007 and 2010 3400RLs, the coverter is under the stairs, not behind the electrical panel, so the hum comes from the stairs. And yes, turning on...

On the 2010 3400RL we acquired last summer, propane won't flow from the doorside tank. The switchover valve is on the other side. I assume the most likely problem is with the 15psi pressure regulator...
