Turn off your r-pod's factory inverter
Just posting a quick warning / suggestion for people with the factory installed WFCO inverter to keep the thing turned off when not in use.
After installing a battery shunt monitor I quickly discovered that the inverter continuously draws 2 amps from the...
We just purchased a new 2023 Isata 5 30FW. I’ve noticed some 2023s optioned exactly like ours have a Magnum ME-RC50 remote control panel installed while others don’t. The reason I ask is during the PDI the Firefly didn’t recognize the Inverter and the ME-RC would not turn on the Inverter...
Thank you, forum members, for all the advice. My 2022 23MK came with a 150 Watts of solar and (1) 12-volt Deep Cycle battery. It would not keep the 12V Refrigerator going for 12 hours and dry camping is something we occasionally like to do. A few before, during and after pictures attached.
I...
I have my Renogy inverter mounted in the original spot where the other one was. Should I put a vent in the door? when the front baggage door is shut, there probably is not much air circulating. Thanks
I'm going to post this here as researching the topic I have never seen any info on this. What I propose to do with the solar I've installed (HQST 40 amp MPPT controller, 4 LifePO batteries, 4 100w Bogue RV panels on the roof and 2 portables to move around in the sun) is to wire a 30 amp outlet...
Mine will be somewhat bigger and all of it under the bed. I'll also be rerouting the OEM batt wires, since I want to use that space, once it is unoccupied.
I also will not be needing alternator charging.
I have a 2023 Clipper Cadet 17CBH. Can anyone tell me if this camper comes with an inverter for converting 12 volts to 110? It has a Everchill 115 volt refrigerator and I would like to run it while on battery.
Thank you.
We just purchased a new to us 2012 Cedar Creek FW. It has the residential fridge and it's not operating while towing. The 5vr has a Airpax Dimensions quasi-sine 800w inverter in it and it says overload. When unhooked from shore power and turned on. The 5vr has 4- 6volt batteries that are new and...
New for 2024, Surveyor has added Inverter Prep. I haven't found any documentation about it yet, other than the sticker on the panel and a notation on the sales placard.
Took the panel off yesterday and this is what is there.
I did several web searches and talked to 2 guys at local hardware...
could use some help
Just returned home here in Texas where it is 112° outside.
Magnum inverter has a red fault light and the display says hi bat temp.
I’m plugged into 50 A and the charge light is flashing and the inverter light is on.
The front air conditioner is working, but the refrigerator...
We have a 2015 Cherokee grey wolf limited tt. Model #CCKT26RL. We purchased this from the original owner in 2020. They only used it twice and we are now going our first big trip. We have no 12v power when unplugged from shore power. We have a brand new battery. Where is the inverter...
My new to me 2017 a213HW came with a dead FLA battery. I considered replacing it with 2 GC2 batteries but figured for almost the same price I could get a CHINS LiFePO4 100AH battery instead. My plan is as follows - install the new battery and do nothing else to the camper. Use a 100watt panel...
My battery will not stay charged on my 2017 Salem 27RKSS. I'm thinking it is the power inverter that's bad. Anyone else have this issue, and is the change out very difficult?
Thanks
Hello and thanks in advance to anyone who can help. I recently acquired a 1999 Gulf Stream seahawk 30fks fifth wheel. It needed *some* work. While ripping it down to the studs I replaced a ton of the electrical. Not knowing about isolator switched and the like, I wired some of the new lighting...
Isata 5 28SS xplorer package. We are out boondocking. Everything worked last night. This morning the solar shut down. My xantrax inverter is throwing a 01 code (low battery voltage). Checked all settings and they are good. Connections appear tight. Firefly shows batteries at 12.3. BIM shows at...
I’m totally overwhelmed. We have a 2022 forester 2861. Purchased new. On a recent trip the dw discovered that the ac plugs did not work while driving. She was trying to work on her computer, as she does at home. Ram the generator and all was good.
I now know that we need an inverter to allow...
We have a recently purchased 2012 sunseeker 3120 SD. There is a 120v plug-in in the kitchen beside the stove and it is labeled "FROM INVERTER", however, I have been unable to find an inverter or an on/off switch for an inverter anywhere. I checked the a/m plug-in and there is no power to it...
I have a 2021 Geo-pro 19 ft with factory solar. When I am on battery only and I turn the solar control to Ac the indicator light comes on but there is no power at any of the 110 outlets. There is also no power to any of the usb ports except the one on the solar control. When I plug in to 110...
Brian, in an earlier post, you said
I have a question. If I upgrade my inverter to one that has RV-C communication, can it be operated by the Firefly?
I'm asking because my dealer told me that if the system wasn't initially programmed to control the inverter, then it won't be able to be...
We just ordered a 2024 Surveyor 252RBLE and among the several changes for this year, is inverter prep.
I know there are at least some differences between the different brands but was curious how Forest River in general handled inverter prep. I know its just wiring but curious as to what size...
Hello,
I am new at Solar and electric work in general but have done a significant amount of research and understand how a solar system with an inverter should work.
However in my 2022 NoBo 19.2 after cutting open the cabinet behind my “wired for solar” sticker I see a yellow and yellow/black...
When I installed my 2000watt inverter, I used 2awg cables.
Located right beside the battery, I was able to use a 1 foot to the negative, but had to use a 1 foot from the battery positive to a 200 amp circuit breaker with a 2 foot from CB to inverter positive.
Total run of 4 feet.
Looking at two...
I don't know if this came from the manufacturer or the dealer which is RV Ready in SoCal. This dealer has high ratings on Google but I have had nothing but problems with them, at least for a first time RV buyer this dealer is the absolute worst, they fit rate into that whole 'used cars salesman'...
I have a 2019 378ts. I don't like the location of the inverter and solar controllers. The inverter is not that bad but the solar is hard to read.
Has anyone moved these to a higher position on the wall. Has anyone moved these? How did you do it?
