Haven't been made in years. Every now and then one shows on E-bay. Some one on E-bay offered the transformer for it. Use MANUFAC Name added to Model number might get a "hit" on the Nets or E-bay.
"Litton Triad" - http://www.bdub.net/manuals/triad-utrad.pdf
Might as well start looking for a "new" replacement that has at minimum same AMP Rating. DECK MOUNT type if you want it under the Pass seat again. Existing wiring might be long enough for everything "new".
Issue may be getting a "new" one that has 4 or 5 (or more) 12V hook ups. May have to buy a separate lug strip for those.
Look around the Nets for reviews . . . some are noisier than others . . .

I might add that the easy way to replace the glass fuses is to get and automotive accessory fuse holder from any auto parts store and use that for those circuits. I Velcro’s mine to the top of the converter. Been working fine for the past 10 years.

I did the same as Stephen, I replaced the stock heavy battery boiler with these:

The wiring in my coach retrofit great to the new fuse panel. I ran a large charge wire from the converter to the house batteries.

Terry !
Fella is after a CONverter - 110V AC to 12V DC . . . NOT an INverter - 12V DC to 110V AC !
The SPELLING is important . . . otherwise all the words are meaningless.
Don't let the SMOKE OUT !

ps: Do you know how an electrician tells if he's working with AC or DC power? If it's AC, his teeth chatter when he grabs the conductors. If it's DC, they just clamp together.
