Location of 12v power converter in Jayco 2015 19RD

This baffles me! I can not find the location of the 12v power converter on my 2015 19RD trailer. Is the converter also the lead acid battery charger?

I am planning to replace the 12v lead acid battery with a 12.8v 100AH lithium battery and it appears I may need to change the battery charger to accept the higher voltage demand of the lithium battery.

I have read that using the AGM setting on most chargers is acceptable to charge 12v lithium. Any thoughts?

Probably all one unit, built into your breaker/fuse panel.

As above, there is a little door, maybe 8" x 10" and a fan port on mine and most I have seen. Often located near where the outside AC wire comes into the side of the RV. Mine is under a cabinet 2 feet from the undersink area where the 30 amp cord is pushed into when traveling.

Google RV power center for some pictures. Black, grey or brown plastic. Has an annoying fan noise when running.

The Power Center is probably a WFCO 8735P which is an all-in one Power Center, so there are two options (according to WFCO support) - Replace the whole unit, or turn off the stock converter (flip the breaker and put a tag on to not to turn it back on), and put in a deck mount converter (https://www.wfcotech.com/shop/conver...erter-charger/) or something similar
