    Battery Issue- inverter

    We just bought a 2021 coachmen chaparral 5th wheel. Took it out two weeks ago and hooked it up to 50 amp service for three days. I just went to the storage yard. The disconnect electrical switch was in the off position and now my battery shows only a 1/3 of a charge on the display. Wondering...

    No current, can’t find inverter

    I’ve been boondocking my new epro 19bhs in my driveway to figure it out and get comfortable before we go camping. Something is funky with the inverter - batteries charge great and everything connected to 12V works just fine. When I press the inverter button, it lights up green but the outlets...

    Catalina 26TH & Victron Inverter : Where to mount?

    Hi everyone, I'm going to install a Victron 2000VA inverter, Cerbo GX and solar charge controller into my 26TH. The question is : Where? There isn't enough space behind the converter. I was thinking about putting everything in the front storage compartment. This is under the bed though...

    Some 120 volt outlets not active using 12 volt batteries and inverter.

    I just received my 2021 Georgetown GT5 34H5, 5 months after ordering. To my dismay, the outside outlet for the outside 39" TV, main bathroom outlet and master bedroom bathroom outlet have no power when using the 1500 watt inverter. They are ok using the generator. All the other outlets work...

    Help I may blown an converter......

    Long story short I mis red my house plug and it was 30a 240 and not 30 am 120 even though when I installed the plug it only read 120 when I check it and it was 120 at my outdoor plug on the trailer, but this time it was 240 I was confused but got that sorted. But I had the trailer plugged at 240...

    Small inverter

    Hi! I was planning to connect a small inverter directly to my battery bank outside the trailer and run and extension cord inside to power a TV. My question is, is it fine to leave the inverter connected to the batteries when I turn on the generator to recharge the batteries? I plan on connecting...

    Transfer switch priority

    I noticed today that my WFCO transfer switch is “generator priority” and is “shore power pass through”. My inverter is wired to the transfer switch generator input and the shore power is wired to the shore power input. This has 2 implications: 1) When both shore power and generator/inverter...

    Inverter Efficiency

    I was just talking inverter efficiency in another thread, which of course led me down this rabbit hole. As we all know, converting DC power to AC to power outlets using an inverter results in some waste of power (inefficiency, loss to heat, keeping inverter powered). My GeoPro came with a...

    115V Fridge and Inverter

    I don't think the make and model here are pertinent. I have a 2018 Wildwood with 115V residential fridge and an inverter. Fridge runs fine on AC or on the inverter. Here's my query. Campground voltage goes down below 105V, Fridge shuts off (probably correct). I turn on the inverter, fridge...

    Inverter is not powering my fridge

    Hi I have a 2018 Cherokee Arctic wolf fifth wheel. When hooked to my truck and with the inverter on and running my residential LG refrigerator does not run. It does when hooked to shore power but not my truck. (2021 GMC 2500 with 5th wheel prep) is there a switch or fuse I should be looking for...

    Go Power 1500 Inverter/Transfer Switch

    Good day everyone. I just joined this forum and it’s my first post. I’ve been on IRV2 for probably 10 years but recently moved from a Newmar DP to a 2020 Riverstone 37MRE and think this forum will be better for my knowledge and Q&A for a Riverstone. As expected with any RV I have had some...

    One way inverter?

    With the help of some miscommunication with an electrical contractor I managed to blow my power inverter by connecting 220v to my Rockwood’s 120v plug. Replaced power inverter, repaired the refrigerator and ac to dc inverter does charge the 12volt battery and all appears well on shore power...

    Xantrex Inverter Wiring

    Adding a wire for a plug, managed to get a couple of wires off the inverter but for the dickens I can't see how to get the wires back in the block. Seems like you should be able to just push them in but oh no, not so fast. Wondering if anyone has any experience with this kind of connector.

    Inverter and EMS

    I have added an 185W solar setup with a 2300W inverter to my existing 50W juice pack on my 2021 17JG. I know I am setup for boondocking or for no service campsites. I would like to know whether installing the EMS-HW30C hard wire unit is worth it for the times I am going to use shore power...

    Rockwood 2509s - Solar - Inverter - Refrigerator

    I just purchased my RW Mini lite 2509s with the solar package and when I picked it up was surprised that the fridge was a propane/AC fridge. All my prior research made me think that if you got the solar package you would automatically get the 12vdc fridge. I guess the dealer made a decision that...

    New Predator 4400 inverter.

    Well it looks like Harbor Freight has some new models of the Predator out now. One is the Predator 4400 and looks pretty interesting. It's priced at $599 right now and comes with larger wheels and an attached long handle for moving it. It is also advertised at 77lbs which is over 20lbs lighter...

    2019 Georgetown GT5 31L5 inverter location

    Feeling a little bit like a fool, but I just picked up a used motor home and can’t figure out where the inverter is located. I don’t see it near the batteries or under the sink like others have said. It’s working, so it has to be in here somewhere!!! Any assistance?

    PREDATOR 3500 Watt Super Quiet Inverter Generator

    Looking at this generator, from harbor freight. Anyone using this model? Good bad ?? It's less than a champion dual fuel 3500 which I am also looking at (which I realize this one is not dual fuel. Which would you prefer. By the way, Honda is great, but out of my $$ range. Let me know...

    Solar/Battery/Inverter question

    OK need some insight here. Just picked up our new Riverstone 42fskg. We have 3 solar 190w panels on top, GoPower 1500w inverter (Powers fridge, a couple plugs and TV), and 4 Battle Born Batteries. We are hooked up to 50amp service and have had decent sunny days. I would think when on shore...

    Inverter confusion

    I took deliver yesterday on our new E Pro 19FD. I promise I took notes and thought I understood the explanation regarding the power inverter. However, I am still not sure when it should be running. Shore power was connected when we did our inspection but the inverter did not indicate it was in...

    Inverter help/questions

    Posting here because based on my research, Rockwood and Flagstaff hybrids can come from the factory with a WFCO WF-5110RS inverters. My 2021 Shamrock 233S came with this inverter, but only 4 outlets in/on the trailer are wired to the inverter. Some of you may recall in another thread, I was...

    Fuel line for portable generator/inverter

    Has anyone hooked up their (installed gas) fuel lines on a Vengeance in order to run a portable generator? My dealer instructed me to buy a nice portable instead of a permanent installation unit. The idea saved me $1,000's but now I need to set up for convenience. 2021 Vengeance V25 Rogue...
