2018 Thor Hurricane 29M Inverter location

Hello all, does anyone have a newer Thor Hurricane 29M and know where the heck the Inverter is located? The remote is on the wall near the head but I cannot find the actual unit. Our remote does not power on the inverter, not sure why. Have checked the Converter panel and GFIV plugs for tripped breakers, all is good. Batteries are good too.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

On my 2018 29M, the inverter is in the birds nest of wires under the bed.

Plant 750 coaches generally have the power center under the bed. Remove the mattress and you will see a removable panel in the bed frame. Remove the panel and you will have access to the works. The inverter is usually located closest to the bed head and as far away from the power center as possible for cooling purposes.

Mine’s a Windsport 29M, same coach for all practical purposes. Lift the mattress, there is a hinged trap door that lifts to provide access to the converter and inverter. Bring a buddy to hold up the mattress.

You got a hinge? On my Hurricane it's a couple of screws.

Thanks everyone, found it... not on a hinged access hatch but another. Pulled 4 screws and there she is, in a mess of wires, sawdust, screws, and more... . Sadly, after tracing wires, I am still w/o inverter power... Damn I feel like I could be missing something simple. Worked a week ago!

My mistake. Forgot the hinged cover didn’t go all the way across the bed. My cover is screwed down over the inverter too.

when you turn on the control panel does it come on or is it dead.

The invertor only powers the TVs outdoor fridge, and the plug in the passenger side dash work station.

Lights are powered by battery. Nothing else will work

Found issues with Xantrex 1000 watt. Would go into overload error, even if it was not overloaded. Powering on/off at control panel would not reset it. Only work around would be to trip the 12v breaker from battery to inverter and turn off all 120 volts. Reset breaker and turn on 120 volts would reset it. Finally added a breaker on the output side and if or when the inverter would error or not worked, only had to turn breaker off then on. Issues was not on 12v side but something to do with sensing 120 volt outlet.
