Converter location on 2008 3400RL?

Camping friend in camp ground has lost his DC on his 2008 Montana 3400RL. No DC when plugged into Park AC. But have DC in the RV when hooked to truck. Have checked all fuses. AC circuit breaker to Converter not tripped.

Where is the Converter physically located in a 2008 3400RL? Is there a fuse on the Converter itself or on its 12V output? Help???

There is a breaker in the 110 volt distribution panel. And, the converter is probably located under the hall stairs; if not and he has a hole in the ceiling of the entry way pantry, it is behind said distribution panel.

Ok, thanks for the replies. He had a generator with him which wouldn't charge the battery. He is going to limp home today with the truck charging the battery so he can work on it at home. About a 4 hour drive. The battery only lasted about 24 hours after being charged by the truck for 4 hours on the incoming trip. He either has a battery that has gone bad, wiring problems or a Converter that has gone bad.

My 07 3400RL has it above the washer/dryer in the hide-hole behind the breaker panel. Nice..
My money is on a bad battery. Many people forget to check the water in them, they go south quickly dry.

My 07 is also in the ceiling over the Washer/Dryer. I would think being under the stairs would make it easier to get to. Guess I missed it by one year, figures!
