A little help? I would like to add an inverter to my 2003 Trail-Lite B+ 211 LE to use while boondocking. I am looking at a 1750 W inverter. After connecting inverter to batteries, with a fuse on positive cable, I would like to simply plug the shore power plug (with adapter) into the 3-prong receptor on the inverter. I hope this will make all AC outlets in unit active (including TV and Microwave). I would turn off the converter and not use generater while connected. Will this arrangement work? Thanks.
Yes, I am confident that it will work as you describe it if the inverter does not include a battery charger/converter feature. I do what you describe with a 1750watt Portawattz inverter.
If you do not turn off the converter, the converter will be trying to charge the batteries from themselves. The amount of trouble this will cause depends on the particular converter.
