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...
I run a "poor man's transfer switch" and have for years and with several different RV's. You need to isolate the factory charger with a breaker so you don't run a charging loop and drain the batteries. Also the OP does not say how the inverter is wired to the batteries and what size cables he is running. You don't need a transfer switch to make this work, but some wire sizing and voltage readings would be more than helpful.
