I'm going from memory, but if it is a 22', then the converter is in the 
bathroom curbside closet. Replacing it can be done a couple of ways- the 
easiest is to simply leave the old on installed, unhook it from 120 volt 
power, and hook a new one up the the fuse panel (which is inside the old 
converter).

The "right way" to do it would be to remove the old converter and install a 
new converter and fuse panel. While this involves a bit of work, rewiring the 
trailer isn't at all needed ;).

I would put in a Progressive Dynamics PD9145- probably the best price will be
