Inverter question
Hi y'all. I'll try to keep this fairly short. I camp in a gooseneck horse trailer with living quarters. It has an inverter in it right now, but the set up is weird. To switch from 12v power to 110v ...

Correct me if I'm wrong
Right now you plug the fridge into a socket/ cord powered by the inverter
When you reach the show/fairgrounds you move the fridge plug to another OUTLET for the shore power
Assuming both are located near the fridge, you simply plug the fridge into the transfer switch output, and plug the two inputs into the two power sources
One into shore outlet one into inverter power
One input is default "inverter" the other is the "switched" shore power
It switched automatically when you plug in the trailers shore chord
Kinda/sorta.
There is no transfer switch.
Right now I plug the fridge into an outlet that is under seating. The outlet is somehow rigged to the inverter. I flip the inverter "on" and I'm running on 12v.
When I get to the campground, I unplug my fridge from the outlet under the seat, flip the inverter switch to "off" and plug the 30 amp shore cord to the shore power.
The inverter is not in play at all when I'm camping.
FYI: I don't do shows or fair. I camp with my horses and trail ride. Now that's bringing a pet along! lol
