Brian,

You probably do not have an inverter.  My 1990 ORED had a convertor located in one of the basement bays on the driver's side toward the rear mounted to the ceiling of the compartment.

I replaced the convertor with an inverter located as close to the batteries under the entry step as I could.  So my installed inverter was in the basement bay on the passenger side just in front of the entry steps.

Hope this helps.

Brian, if you look to the right of your new door you will see the grate that covers the water heater. Apparently it is mounted under your kitchen counter.

Re the inverter: You probably don't have one. Ours is mounted to the ceiling of the dump valve compartment and is not really visible unless you bend over.

Did you get the Zip Dee info I just sent?

I sent you an email about the Arms, I can make the bits myself,

Whats in the box under the bed at the front of the box, That Rectangle with the electrics in it, Any chance you can take a piccy of yours,

I would like to know what was in it,  before the transformer was put in there in mine And how the wiring was set up in there as well,

That box in the basement bay, I was told it was a battery charger, ,

Yes, the converter is your battery charger, most likely in the basement.  On my 1993 it was in the storage area close to the right side steps.  Know you have left and right side steps.

Under the bed, might be a box that is the auto transfer switch, to switch RV park power or generator power on, and send into the 120 circuit breaker box.  My auto switch was maybe 4"x 8", with wires coming in from the RV park plug and the generator.  Output side went into the breaker box.

Would guess someone had to install a transformer to step down your RV park supply from your 220 Aust. power down to 120 that the US coach items needed.
