Please Review my Inverter and Charger Install
Hi Forum Techies! I'm not new to RVing but after reading a lot more on dry camping I decide to procure a Xantrex 1220 charger and ProSeries PSI-1500 Inverter in my new Dutchmen 2780RBSL trailer. ...

Wow lots of great input since I last checked! beemerphile1, I installed the suggested size based on #4 wire that the manufacturer instructions offer. Can you give a little more detail on your thoughts and what size you would suggest?
Also, yeah the issue with space, it is wide open all around EXCEPT I opened a hold in the wall to the interior so that the plug and toggle switch on the face would be accessible from the interior...there is a slight gap between the inverter and the opening, still though, maybe that's taking a risk. Thought about some kind of non thermal conductive caulk or something might be okee dokee since we'll not (150 AMPS!) be running a table saw on it, more like a little evening TV, a small coffee maker (900 watts for the 2 minutes it is on per cup), then perhaps the laptop or iPad charger from time to time. If the collective opinion is that is still going to cause a situation where too much heat is around the faceplate, I'll take the advice and do something different maybe, like moving it back in favor of a dedicated AC outlet from the outlets of the inverter.
Thanks again!
Cheers.
