Do I have an inverter?

Hi I purchased a 2019 jayco 38bhds and the original owner wasn’t sure if it had an inverter. I really just want it to run the refrigerator while traveling. I have a residential fridge. I couldn’t find the inverter but I was wondering why I would have a DC fuse for the refrigerator if I didn’t have an inverter. Or is there a way to trace wires to attempt to find an inverter?

Your inverter is probably in the basement attached to the roof.

Hi
That's a generic label... Refer is refrigerator as well as other items on the AC breaker

Better way to answer your question... Are you sure it's a residential fridge?
Norcold or Dometic are both rv fridge makers.... They both make 21 cubic ft fridges.
Pictures would help

First of all thank you for the quick replies. I just assumed it was a residential fridge. It is a larger size and I do not see a switch or butting to for electric/lp like my last camper had. I am not near my camper right now but I’ll try to get my wife to take a picture.

If the converter is on the ceiling do I normally need yo turn it on or should it transfer automatically. Thanks for all the help.

There would be a small control panel on a wall that you would need to turn on. It would be about 4"X6". Either marked XANTREX or MAGNUM.

You are talking about a control panel for the inverter, correct? If so would it be inside the camper or in the storage are?

Again thank you for all the quick responses.
