Susie Q,

Put your ear by the converter, hear a fan?

Keith, new ones probably, my 2015 the front service light and the porch light I changed to LED.


The 2016s also still had incandescent porch and front service lights.

Thanks. Right now I can't get the noise to come back. When I do, I'll listen.

Ok. I turned on all the interior lights and then the porch light. Sure enough, the converter fan came on. That was the noise I was hearing. I think the porch light in my 2018 178 is incandescent.

Yay, I'm glad you got it sussed!  

That's irritating when you can't located the source of the sound, kinda like locating crickets.

If it is a 2018, I'm pretty sure all the lights are LED at that point. I know all the round "puck" lights in the interior, the tail lights, and all the marker lights are LED. Pretty sure the rest of the lights are LED as well (including the porch light).

Yep. That's EXACTLY what happened to us on our 1st big trip with the new 180. "What's that noise?"
I finally tracked it down to the converter fan.

Thanks to you all. Now, if I could just figure out the photo thing again, I'd post a pic sometime. Tried a search, but the URL cut & paste method (using Flickr) didn't work. Might be an Android thing.
