G'day,
John Sharpe and I have been trying to find the AC to DC converter (Buzz Box) in my 1977 Kingsley for two days and for the life of us
we can't find the damn thing!
HELP!

Maybe someone stole it..
All kidding aside. I do not know, but I would look for the house 12 DC fuse panel. It is probably close by. It should be on the drivers side because on GM up fitted coaches that is the route for the 12 VDC from under the hood to the rear batteries and the Onan. It also needs 120 VAC so where is the 120VAC CB panel?
I'm not much help.

Mine is under the Driver side bed. However the book says it is behind and above the furnace.

Typical PO work that does not follow the standard layouts.
Try following the AC line as it is connected to one.

Location of "buzz boxes" varies. Some are here, some are there. Coachman
placed them somewhere in the rear of the coach, and other up fitters placed
them behind the oven and above the furnace in an almost inaccessible
location. Some in the lavatory sink undercabinet. Also no fun to service.
My Royale was located in the bottom of a night stand between the rear
gaucho beds. You had to get on your knees, and use a portable light source
to service the buzz box or the 12 volt or 120 volt breakers or fuses. On
the Coachman system, you had to operate a toggle breaker to switch between
shore power and generator power. I modified that deal with a timed delay 50
amp automatic transfer switch. Now, if you want to operate the generator,
you just start it up, and wait until the time delay relay closes, and you
are good to go. No more kneeling at the electrical altar and flipping
toggle breakers.
I would plug your coach into shore power, go quietly into the coach, and
listen for the buzz box to tell me where it is hiding. Likely as not, you
will be removing sinks or stoves/ovens to remove it.

Around here when Lauire misplaces something, I usually find it in the
refrigerator.
If I misplace it, it might not be found for years.

Rob, I BELIEVE I remember seeing it behind the stove on the wall. If you put your head down load and look up behind and below the stove, you can see the bottom of it. That's all I remember or think I remember but I do recall thinking it was a really odd place for it. It also appeared to be a newer type just from the sheer size of it.
