On mine, it's under the rear dinette seat.

You can usually hear it humming on a quite evening.
If the house batteries charge but the chassis batteries do not, the problem is likely a charge relay not closing. This may be intentional or a failure of some kind. The chassis battery is normally isolated form the house system until the house batteries are fully charged. Then a relay cuts in to allow charging the chassis too. If the house batteries are weak, the charge controller may never close the chassis relay. Or the relay itself may be stuck or just plain worn out.
Lou (aka Porky) is an expert on the Bounder battery charge control, so maybe he can provide more details.

We have a 1990 1/2 Bounder and the converter is right next to the fuse panel under where the dinett is.....

I have a 90 Fleetwood Southwind and the converter and power panel are under the refridgerator. There is also a battery disconnect switch over our screen/main door that we push to off when we are plugged in a long time and do not want to use the batteries, or push it to on to charge and use the batteries. It took us a while to figure that one out. Good luck!
