inverter

Had issues running 700W microwave oven while using 2KW inverter because my 200AH lithium battery only has a 120A BMS. Decided that the inverter MW was much cheaper than replacing the battery. Using a watt meter I found the maximum power level wattage that the battery could handle before...

So, I thought I would start here in Boondocking before going to the Electrical forum. '22 WW 171RBXL. Hershey PA. We go back and forth between Denver-ish and home 4-5 times per year to see the grandkids. Used to set up in campgrounds along the way but with this new TT we can boondock on the...

My camper has one of those larger dorm-style fridges in place of an outside kitchen fridge. I would like to be able to run the fridge off of the trailer batteries when traveling. I ran 12GA wire from the fuse panel to the rear of the camper (about 20 feet) and then connected the inverter...

Hi, I am considering cutting the "loop" that is supplied by Keystone that feeds the AC outlets and powering it using a Delta EcoFlow Max unit. My reason for doing this is twofold. For ease of install and also then I can pull it out and use it around the house as needed vs dedicated batteries and...

So we just traded our 2608BS for a new 8828SB yesterday and after going through it and checking everything out when it arrived at our permanent site i found that the inverter has no remote switch. To turn it on you need to go into the storage area, the plug for the remote on the inverter is...

Hi O’ Knowledgeable Ones!!!! This is our second full camping season with our 2000 Ford Chassis Adventurer. Not that it matters but it has been retrofitted and it has been a real treat to own and use. With all things new ( at least new to me ) there are questions. We have Norcold 3 way...

Anyone know what is a good brand or how to determine a good brand of a pure sine wave inverter to purchase? I’m toying with the idea of buying a small ?portable? inverter for our next trip out west to the mountains. Small and portable meaning one to just hook to a battery for when needed, not...

Hey guy, I'm obviously a newbie to the whole camping world. Picked a a 2021 2716f last Friday and when I got home the new battery from the dealer was shut. Thought I had a bad battery so picked one up a new battery that same night. Used the battery and to pop up the camper to show it to the...

Looking for opinions on better 12VDC, 2k or 3k inverters. Don't need charging capability. Don't recognize any of the market's offerings these days. Want to run a 120Vac (about 10A running, 20A start) well pump off the inverter in emergencies. Long story short, also working with a wind...

If your inverter is mounted on the floor, any potential water leak will probably destroy it. My Samlex 1500 inverter was floor-mounted less than a foot from the water tank filler hose. There was no clearance between the inverter and the floor, such that enough water seeped into the inverter...

OK, here's the old retired Marine Grunt again with an inverter question. Pictured is the control panel in my rig. What exactly does "Pass Thru" mean for my inverter settings? Read my manual repeatedly and cannot find where it speaks of that setting for the inverter. I have a Magnum MS2000...

We are in steamy Alabama for a week in our 2021.5 36D7 and I have been dealing with “High AC” alarms every night between midnight and 3am. We have seen the same error in Florida and in Ohio a couple times when running both AC units, but not like we are seeing now. A screen shot is below. The...

Happy Fourth to all! I have no power to my inverter circuits, 2022 Ultra Lite 8332SB, Progresssive Dynamics PD 1600 Series Inverter. I cannot locate the inverter remote control on/off switch, or the 12V fuses. Any ideas on these two, or any ideas on this in general will be greatly appreciated. I...

Like a dummy I plugged my 2014 Forest River into a 30 amp plug it kick the inverter out and I cannot get it restarted do you think I damage the inverter Or is there something you think I can do to reset it

Hello. We have been invited to go boondock camping for a weekend with some friends. It’s going to be a bit warm, so we would like to be able to use our A/C. We don’t have a generator but one friend has a Champion 4375 Dual fuel that we can borrow. It has the 30 amp RV receptacle, and I think...

My CPAP outlet no longer works from the inverter. The two refrigerator outlets work fine powered by the inverter. It also works fine when plugged in or running the generator. Checked all the fuses in the panel and checked fuses in the panel. Anyone have an issue like this?

Hi -- apologies in advance as I'm sure I'm going to use the wrong words to describe parts of my electrical system :) We've owned our XLT 45CA for about a week now and yesterday, we started to lose power to microwave, refrigerator, power outlets, etc. Things started while we were vacuuming --...

So I am probably just not searching for the right terms. I am looking at installing a small inverter in my camper. Does anyone make a switch that will isolate the converter when the inverter is on? An all in one, power on to inverter so power to converter is off and flip the switch and inverter...

A mouse has built a nest in our fuse panel area. We’ve removed most of the nest but need to make sure it gets fully cleaned. What can I use to safely clean here? It’s not plugged in and the battery is out. And a question I’ve been meaning to ask since last summer - sometimes while we are...

So we picked up a geo pro lightweight and there’s no inverter installed. Any suggestions on running the wiring? Is there an easy way to grab the 12v off the fuse panel or am I fishing wires all the way to the battery? Thx. Stu.

My inverter usually works fine, but now and again it turns itself off and then can only be turned on with shore power or generator. It will remain on then after you turn the generator or shore power off.
