Converter Noise

I have a 2012 Coyote Hybrid that we purchased used last year. When camping over Memorial Weekend, and then again this past weekend, I noticed a "cooling fan" running in the converter? I asked this as a question because that is what it sounds like, but not sure it is actually a fan. It increased when more demand was put on the electrical system, which according to the manual for that converter is normal?
I never heard that fan run with any of my other trailers (2) in the past. So I'm just wondering if this is ok?

Thanks,
Bob

Mine is the same way. I have a buddy who keeps his camper out at our place. We all went camping a couple weeks ago and he was in our camper as I was showing him something. He commented on the converter noise as well. I don't notice it but I also have lots of hearing loss from the military. Too much time playing with explosives. Anyhow it is perfectly normal. If I pay attention to it I guess it sounds like a computer fan. I work in IT now so I hear that all day every day and that is probably another reason I don't notice it.

The fan was a bit annoying to me when we first bought our TT but I slowly got used to it the first year. I replaced the incandescent lights with LEDs and the current draw is less which causes the fan to spin slower...I barely hear it now.
