Where is the invertor

I just purchased a 2012 FR Rockwood HW277, I cannot find the invertor and its controls. Help

A 2012 unit may not have an inverter... but all units seem to have a CONverter which transforms 110vAC electricity to 12vDC and charges the battery. A converter is usually behind an electrical panel door and the unit's circuit breakers and fuses.

As Dan mentioned, I am not aware of many/any PUPs that have an inverter. The converter will be near the floor and should have a brown panel cover. Open the panel. This is a combination converter /distribution panel. The fuses control the 12V Dc items lights, water pump, furnace fan etc. The breakers control the 120VAC items like AC and water heater if equipped with electric element.

Yep, unless a previous owner installed an inverter, popups don't have factory installed inverters.

The OP is probably confusing it with a CONverter.
