    Dealer installed inverter doesn’t work

    I recently bought a new 2024 Forest River 174BHLE Salem FSX Travel Trailer from Bayird RV in Mt. Home, Arkansas. I asked the salesman if the refrigerator ran on propane as well as 110 volt. I wanted to be able to keep food cold on the way to the campsite. He said it ran on 12 volt and 110 volt...

    Inverter and Battery Shutoff

    I connected my Renogy 700W inverter for the first time. I connected the inverter negative directly to the battery. With battery shutoff on off, the other DC circuits still have power. Same whether inverter is on or off. So how are the circuits getting power? Through the ground wires? (The...

However, after examining the wiring and digging through the forums, I am still unclear on whether or not I can (and should) ground the inverter to the bus above the...

    NoBo 20.3 Inverter

    I recently purchased a used 2023 NoBo 20.3 that came with a factory installed WF-5220. I don't have a clear understanding of how this device is wired into the 120V bus. Literature for the device seems to indicate that it has shore power detection. As it comes from the factory does shore...

    Modified vs pure sine inverter

    Our 5vr came from the factory with a 1000w modified inverter to run the 17cu ft residential fridge. While traveling last summer it went out. So I went to HF and bought a Jupiter pure sine 2000w to replace it with until we arrived back home. The reason I bought the Jupiter is because I had a...

    Inverters Low Output

    Hello... My battery is 13.5 V during the day on solar power. I've had two inverters hooked up to it but the output is not strong enough to run the computer devices. Several days ago I unhooked my black cable on the battery as I was working on the fuse panel. I forgot to turn off inverter and...

    Do inverter heat pumps exist for roof mount RV purpose?

    My 21 Force has Coleman ACs with electric aux heat. They are so noisy I can't even talk on the phone when running. I've been in any number of garages, work sheds and small cottages with minisplit heat pumps that you can barely hear. I just had a Bosch inverter (variable speed) heat pump...

    Inverter Question

    I own a 2017 Sierra HT3350bh fifth-wheel. I have seen other discussions in these forums about inverters. Since I don't know and think it would be nice to have a general idea of this. How would I know if I have an inverter? Is it hid like an Easter egg somewhere onboard? If I do not have one...

    Basically as title states. I've hosed myself a bit by picking a Surveyor (no inverter, but inverter prep) over a NoBo (2,000 watt pure sine wave inverter, model WF-5220). To avoid getting lost in the weeds with this thread: I understand the limitations of using the inverter prep - only...
