    Where is the converter for this model located. I read about the potential to blow the converter fuse and had two needs: 1. where is the converter and 2. what fuse type does it take? Thanks

    First--welcome to the forum, Terry.

    Your converter is behind the distribution panel/fuse block that is underneath the microwave.

    At the top of this page note the Parts Lookup link to the GD website:

    I looked at your particular trailer's electrical parts and it shows it's the 55A WFCO version. The manual is available here: https://wfcoelectronics.com/wp-conte...ors-Manual.pdf

    It is my understanding that the only time the Converter fuses blow is if the battery is inadvertently connected backwards. From the linked manual:

      I was given a direct phone line to Littelfuse who never returned my call. I was trying to get a spare fuse to add to my tool box. We have been towing travel trailers or fifth wheels for over 40 years and one thing I learned..if it can go bad it may do so. ) The parts look up does not provide a part number for the fuse. One individual said it took two 35 amp blade fuses, same as the auto fuse. I need to get the model number off the converter or try to eye ball what fuse(s) are on it. GD referred me to Littelfuse. Now that I know where to look, let me get a model number and the fuse(s) currently in place. I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction. I have also been trying to get an extra fuse for the auto level 3.0 system..which is provided by Littlefuse (the control panel). Don't want to have to buy a complete control panel. Thanks again!

        Glad to help. Below is what mine looked like--note the sticker says they are 35A fuses:

          Yes the converter fuses use the ATO / ATC fuses for the reverse protection.
