I am trying to location the inverter in my 370FB I don't see it in the front compartment including the box with the battery switches to disconnect the battery. I have looking in the water cabinet box in the basement and one tech told me it was in the ceiling of the basement but not there. Can anyone tell where to look?

So, not to sound offensive, are your sure you have one?
Do you really mean inverter or do you mean converter?
Your post refers to a(1) battery.
Inverter are usually associated with upgraded battery banks and Solar options.
In case you don’t know a converter changes 120 AC to 12V DC.
An inverter does the opposite, it converts 12 V DC to 120 AC
The converter is usually located at the base of the breaker /fuse panel.
If you don’t have more than the standard Solar option, it is unlikely that you have an inverter.
Just trying to help answer your question, without specific details, I can’t be sure if you actually have an inverter or not.

Typically with a 110 refrigerator you have inverter also to allow the refrigerator to run on both 110 and 12v when underway. The manual shows an inverter but not the location. The RV tech also told me it had one but he was not familiar of location in the 370FB. The other RVs I have had and an inverter the refrigerator and other items than run on 12v when hooked up to the truck which is what the refrigerator does. No issues asking questions I certainly am no expert.
Can you attach a few pictures of your front storage compartment. I don't think Alliance installs any hardware in any location, other than the front compartment. You can also follow the postive cable coming off your battery...that should lead you to the inverter.
Also...what year and model Alliance do you have?

Ok, so is your refrigerator 120v AC or 12VDC? It can’t be both.
I would agree if it is 120v Ac you would need an inverter to provide 120 v Ac while traveling.
If it is a 12 Dc model like ours, it is powered directly from the battery while traveling.
My experience with the Alliance RV manuals are that they paint a broad stroke to cover all possible installed options whether your coach is equipped with the components or not.

Ok great, as Jim had posted you could follow your battery cables, they will lead you to the inverter.
