Anyone had problems with their Converter?, Mine stopped charging the batteries, can't locate a fuse on it,aside from the circuit breaker on the house panel.Any suggestions?Bill

That is the converter used in my unit (3650RK). There are two 30 amp fuses (green) in my 12 volt DC service panel. They are labeled reverse polarity fuses. Some converters have these fuses mounted on the converter itself. Try checking those two fuses.

We had our converter burn out on the way to AZ this Feb. Had to buy a rebuildt one. With the converter burn out we had NO, NONE, ZERO power (120 or 12) therefore, we spent three Very cold nights.

Check closely..That charge line was the line that shorted out in our underbelly and caused our melt down. Check for a black wire connected to the fuse block in the front compartment and it goes back through that hole in back of the battery with a lot of other wires. Check to see if it looks like it got hot.....
