Electrical Short 2006 Itasca Suncruiser

After returning from RV repair, I found the coach battery and wire from the 12V relay fried. I changed battery, wire, and relay, but still get an instant GCI disconnect when I plug into shore 110V power. I checked the switch-automatic transfer panel and don't see any arcing or obvious issue so suspect the power converter. Does that sound right? Also advice on where I can locate the converter.

Usually the converter is behind the power center where all your fuses and circuit breakers are. This is many times located beneath a refrigerator.

But yours appears to be in the bottom of the cabinet next to the fridge.

You can look at your RVs wiring diagrams and find the converter shown there:

What exactly was performed during the RV repair? It sounds suspicious to me. Was it a slide issue that may have resulted in a pinched wire? We need a little more info/detail.

2006 Itasca 110V external power short

thank you for your reply. The coach was in for body work, replacing roof cover and installing satellite dish, nothing that should have caused this problem, but it was returned with the battery and wire to the solenoid fried. I didn't use the coach immediately and only discovered it when I removed the stair cover to check batteries.
I am going back in to check the relay-battery disconnect and the converter. Your info on the places to check for converter were helpful.
