Just a FWIW.  I ran across this interesting video and thought it might be good to share with those who may not know any other way to setup an RV inverter other than to have a dealer do it... --(that is usually as clueless as the RV owner is anyway)--.    This is yet another person that is using...

Knit, You’re right, no manufacture would setup an inverter that way. The manufacture has the responsibility to watch out for the idiot ‘end user’ that very likely doesn’t know an inverter from a smoke alarm to begin with. The manufactures have next to zero quality control but I think we can...

No kidding...  :rolleyes: ???  Here's a two sentence 'recap' from the original post.  The concern wasn't about expecting an inverter (especially a 2K one) to run things as shore power will.  ---"The inverter pretty much only comes into play when we're setup someplace in the woods.  We use a...

I think I'm missing something here, I'm not for real sure I follow your thoughts…  I do have a breaker ahead of the inverter plug that I added when I put the inverter in.  In essence is what the shore power does, being fused in the main panel. When plugged into shore power, the batteries are...

During the times when we do use the RV toilet (which is rare occasions), after we dump the black water tank, I always run a 10-15 gallons of clean water through the tank after the initial dump...  If you have the option to do that, that will usually flush things out pretty well and eliminate...

Beer?  That sounds good to me, you can all come by anytime, it' always cold...! Not that it matters now but I just tried to post some pictures I took this am of everything but not sure how it's going to work, this forum format seems hard to follow navigate to me. -If - these pics. actually get...

Bullfrog, your question prompted me to go out and check because I couldn't remember but I assumed they were on the same breaker. I've not done anything to sort this thing out for a couple yrs. now until we just returned home again this past Monday and posted the problem here.    Welll, as it...

Ok, I understand.  But FWIW, we've never had anything plugged in in the trailer that draws over 11 amps current combined.  That would be my wife's hair dryer which draws just under 10 amps. and runs for aprox. 5-6 minutes and maybe the water pump that might possibly kick on during that time (if...

Yes I have a couple actually, that's what I've been checking the outlets with.  I thought the one I had was maybe screwed up so bought another.  They both show all outlets to be good with no off polarities, open grounds etc. I see I've been answering my own posts here.  Looks like I need to get...

With the shore power breaker off ("Main" breaker), I have no power to any of the outlets which is what I would expect, only the lights have power which of course is from the batteries.  For the heck of it I made the same 'shore power breaker' check while plugged into the inverter.  Same thing...

Sorry guys... My MISTAKE...! (must have too many things going on here at once, I think) When I said that I tripped the breaker at the solar controller awhile ago and supposedly "reset" it, I actually didn't push it in far enough even though it sounded and felt like it reset, consequently I...

Thank you for the replies, I should’ve mentioned that the inverter is an inverter only, not a charger/inverter. Also the trailer is straight 30 amp setup and no generator and no transfer switch. Just a very simple setup using the solar panels to charge the batteries when away from commercial...

:huh: Hi everyone. I have a question about an inverter I put in our 5th wheel a couple years ago.  I installed 4 Trojan 6v batteries, a couple solar panels, a Morningstar MPPT controller and an Xantrex 2000 watt inverter in our 5th wheel a few yrs. ago.  The trailer is used 99.9% of the time...
