Inverter location

We just purchased a 2016 sierra 381rbok. Does anyone know where the inveter is located?
Thanks

My apologies if you know the following, but...

It's hard to say- you might or might not have an inverter.

Most campers come with a converter- this generally charges your battery and will make 12v out of 120v electric.

Fewer campers come with an inverter- this will make 120v electric out of 12v.

The ones that do come with an inverter are typically those with residential refrigerators.

Are you sure you should have an INverter?

Heh, fair enough. There's just often confusion around the two devices. Similar names, similar purposes.

So that said- no idea where it would be. My guess is up near the batteries. At least, that's where it *should* be from a technical perspective.

Sorry I can't help me. Good luck!

It should be behind the false wall in your storage bay. Unscrew the wall between your storage area and stairs. It along with the rest of the systems should be be in that area.

Thank you . I will be pulling that out just to verify it is in there. That makes since because the fuse panel is very nearby.

Mine is behind the false wall under the coat/boot closet in the floor. The closet is right at the front door on the right
