How can I tell if I have an inverter and where would it be located?
Thanks
Thanks

However, if it is something a previous owner added, it's hard to guess where he may have put it and how it is wired to the battery system.
One quick test that is 98% conclusive in most motorhomes: with shore power and genset disconnected/off and the engine off, turn the tv on. If it powers up, you have an inverter. If not, odds are it does not. Basically, if any wall outlet or the microwave has power when shore cord and genset are off, there must be an inverter somewhere to supply power.

I presume you meant nothing that runs from AC, since lights and other DC items should still work.If it's not turned ON nothing electrical works when not on shore power or generator and engine off.

Even though 12volts is considered electrical - I usually consider it battery operated.
