Noise at rear of 2009 345DBQ. Sounds like something running for a few seconds.

We are camped at our campground in a long term spot. We are hooked up to 50 amp electricity and water. I am not using the water pump. The switch is off.

I noticed Saturday morning every so often towards the rear of the camper it sounded like a pump or something running for a few seconds and then shuts off. What is back under the rear bunk area that would run for a few seconds and then shut off? It's not the AC, not the furnace, not the water heater, the water pump is off. Is there an inverter or something back that way that the fan would be running on?

Thanks in advance!

well heck - missed it again, kinda like responding to a 2 year old OP - you have any idea where his converter might be or if you think that's the noise? Mine started doing that and then died ...

Good observation! I thought the converter was listed in the devices checked. It wasn't. If the CB and Fuse panels are nearby it is likely the converter doing it's normal thing.
