What tnchuck100 said. The converter box is the same unit that the fuses and breakers are on.

Your converter box is usually very close or behind your electric panel and fuses. One of your 120 electric breakers feeds power to your converter. there should be a schematic on your electric panel that tells you what each breaker feeds. One should say converter. Normally that breaker feeds only the converter. Other breakers may have multiple uses or a couple different outlets on one breaker. AC is on its own breaker. Microwave has its own breaker. Look your electric panel over close!!

Ok I understand . Just terminology differences I guess. Right inside my door there's a black box approx 6 x 10 that has all my breakers in it and just below it there's another box about 4 inches away that is about 3 x 10 that has all my fuses in it. I took the 6 x 10 box out of the wall and it has lots of wires going in but I saw no in line fuses there. I have not taken the box with the fuses out of the wall yet. Could the in line fuses be inside the 6 x 10 box? I'm sorry I'm such a pain but trying to learn here

Are any of the fuses you are seeing the automotive blade style?
If so, are two of them green (30 amp)?
If yes, is one marked identifiably as reverse polarity protection?
If yes, have you checked it for continuity, not just visually?

This is not likely to be an inline fuse and should not require removal of anything.

I feel 90% sure this is the problem.

Ok I found the converter box and all 3 fuses were blown. I changed them and thought ok problem solved. I even changed the 20 amp fuse on the panel for my furnace. Still won't fire. The blower comes on I can hear the igniter click but no fire. I have propane to the stove. Now what? getting frustrated. Keep in mind everything worked 3 days ago. Help please !!!

First, has the electrical issue been resolved? You do have lights with the battery disconnected and shore power on.

I'm thinking no because when this all started (when the batteries were dead) the only thing that worked with the 120V was my tv and microwave. Should I disconnect the batteries and check again ??And if the answer is no they don't work what should I do?

I believe the furnace and the electrical problem are two separate issues.

Let's deal with each one at a time. What were the fuses you replaced? Were they as I described? 30 amp?

With all the blown fuses replaced leave the battery disconnected and connect your shore power. Do you have lights?

I replaced the 3 fuses (all 30 amp) on the wires leading into my converter box and the 20 amp fuse for my furnace on the panel. It was not a 30 amp

Still didn't fire.

Right now everything in my camper works, lights etc except the furnace.

I will disconnect the batteries tonight to see if I have lights from the shore power but like I said before when my batteries were dead I did not.

I will post about 8 pm tonight with those results
