How do you test an RV converter fan?
Test the thermostat/temperature sensor unit which controls the fan by blowing heat onto the heat sink using a hair dryer or a shrink-wrap gun. Use your test meter to confirm 120-volt power is passing to the thermostat/temperature sensor unit, and then that 120-volt power is passing from it after it heats up.
How can I find out what kind of converter my RV has?
When it is powered up, it gives off a humming sound, which can help you locate it. Usually the make and model and power ratings are written on the case. You can also look up the ratings in the manuals that come with the RV. Modern converters operate automatically and have become more efficient.
