    What trailer do you have? Someone here probably has the same model and can tell you where their converter is located.

    For a 5th wheel, they are generally located behind the rear wall (easy to remove) of the pass through compartment.
    On tag trailers, generally (but not always) near the distribution (breaker) panel. Usually behind a drawer, cabinet or wall.

    I had power in the cabin after we hooked up to shore power. After a storm my fridge stated no A/C i checked the main panel and i had full power there at the bottom of the breakers but nothing to the small fuse panel does the power go to the convertors before it goes to the small fuse panel? After i checked the fuses in the front under pass they were all good. I checked power again in the camper and now there isnt any power to anything but the 110 outlets and microwave. Any hints?

    Converter for that model is on curb side in the access/storage area, behind the wall. I've taken pictures of it but never taken out the wall to climb back in there. I agree with others, sounds like a pedestal pole failure which we've encountered a few times. Having a good EMS/Surge makes this pretty quick as I can check my pedestal voltages inside. I'm suspecting that's the root cause.

    Update: Is your a 50 amp rig? From what I recall they put two circuits to give you 50 amps. When you run a 30 amp you are only using one circuit. If you have 30 amp powering some things, it might mean one circuit is dead on 50 amps.

    You may need to be sure everything is live from shore power to your rig first, then check to see if both circuits are live to the rig's distribution panel.
    A 50A circuit is one plug at the power with two hot legs, each being 50A, so you have total of 100 amps to the rig.
    Also, an appliance does not care if the source is 30 or 50 amps. It only sees line voltage. The amp rating is what is available when needed.
