Some time ago there was a discussion of inverters on this thread. Based on my experience this winter, I need some info.
Above my propane tank, 1st compartment right of entry steps, I have a large device with battery cable connections to it. In the past, I though this was my CONverter, used to provide 12VDC to the coach and to charge my batteries. This winter I had some batteries damaged due to power loss and freezing, and discovered that my CONverter was actually mounted in the galley, on the floor, under the bottom drawer.
Since that discovery...I'm guessing that the device above my propane tank must be an INverter. If that's the case, and someone else has the same setup, what outlets are powered by the INverter? Is it on all the time?...I don't know of any switch anywhere that controls it.
