Power Converter

I am perplexed. I have a 2016 Hampton and after opening it and everything working fine the lights starting dimming. My converter is not working and I don't know where it is. I know its my converter because I can plug it into my truck and everything works. I suspect a blown fuse or a bum converter. Either way, I don't know where it is. Can anybody tell me where it is?

I'm going to guess and say it's behind the breaker panel.
Does your Hampton require batteries?

behind the breaker panel there should be a black power cord that is plugged in. Follow it to the converter. You can also trace the main 12v DC wires that feed all the 12v fuses.

Or you might have a unit with the converter built directly into the power panel,

Converter Location

We found our converter behind the water/winterizing/waste Mgt. control panel. Not at all what I expected considering all the water connections in that area.

We had the same problem with our converter...lights dimming etc. If you take the converter out to test it, make sure you test it under a load. The WFCO WF-9875 originally tested with the correct voltage, but after loading the converter with a 12V DC load the converter could not regulate the voltage properly.

We replaced our WFCO with a Progressive Dynamics PD9280AV, which is an 80 Amp 1300 watt converter. We are very happy with the product
