Where is the Power Converter/Charger?

Any suggestions as to where the IOTA 12VConverter Charger is most likely to be located on my 05 3670? I'm parked fulltime on a job in LA and have to top off the battery water almost monthly. IOTA sells an inexpensive plugin upgrade to a "float charger", but I need to find it first.

Thanks!

Look through the stair grates, most seem to be in that area... Dave

It is behind your electric panel on the floor if yours is the same as mine. You will have to pull out the panel only about 4 screws and maybe 2 screws holding the converter.

When you say the Electrical Panel, you mean the IOTA 120V and 12 Volt Distribution / Breaker panels, just inside the entry door? I guess I would want to shut down power/unplug before I try to move them.

Yes...

...and make sure your battery is disconnected...

My unit is a 2004 3670RL and I don't have an Iota brand converter. My converter is a Parrallax Power brand. It is behind the brown panel next to the entrance door where the circuit breakers and fuses are. However if you are parked for a long time you can disconnect the battery completely by disconnecting the negative battery cable until the day before you get ready to move. This will prevent the battery using water. I've been doing every summer. No problems.
