    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...

    I finished rooftop solar panel installation on my HW277 today and starting on 700w Renogy inverter near the power center: - Distance from batteries looks to be 6 ft for which 6 AWG with 3% loss is at the edge of capacity. May run 4 AWG anyway. - Are there any special requirements for how...

    Inverter with pass through recommendation

    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...

    2015 (and/or 2014) Lexington GTS283 - where is the inverter

    Hi, we bought our unit last year. When looking at the brochure, there is no inverter listed in the options, but looking at the wiring diagram (received from manufacturer), we see an inverter on it.

    Inverter question

    When I first purchased my 5th wheel I was told to turn in my inverter to run my refrigerator while towing. Once I hooked up to shore I should turn off the inverter and it will run the fridge from the shore line and it has done just that for two years. Recently the fridge stopped working when the...

The inverter called for “0 awg” at less than 10 feet. And “2/0 awg” ten feet and beyond. All I could get...

    Hello, I recently picked up a new camper with a nice outdoor kitchen. The catch is, we boondock in one spot for most of the summer. I'm thinking about putting a 12v to 120v inverter in just to run the fridge and ice maker in the outdoor kitchen. I know that the ice maker peaks at 1.8A and I'm...

    Panel on Curved Roof; Inverter

    I'll be mounting a 100W panel, length 42", on the fiberglass roof of my HW277. The ends of the angle (renogy tilt mount kit) will be slightly off the roof. Does it seem reasonable to layer VGHB or eternabond tape to fill the gap? If not, then what? Other question is a Renogy 700W inverter I...
