Inverter help
Hi guys, I'm wanting to set up an inverter so I can run power off of my battery bank and solar. I had a 2000 / 4000 peak inverter that I had been using, but was tired of not having my outlets work...

Why can't he just use jumper cables to the inverter? What does the battery ground have to do with it?
Not all inverters are made for the battery connected to the ground. Try removing the batteries from the RV to isolate.
A battery that is unconnected to the rig with jumpers would be OK. Or the inverter bonding could be removed but that would have potential safety issues.
