Shore power and motorhome engine running
Is it ok to crank the engine when connected to shore power? I have a deisel motorhome. Often if I am only connected to 20 or 30 amp I crank the engine when operating the slides. Also when sitting idle...

usually not all of your 120 Volt AC outlets are powered by the invertor. I would get one of those 3light testers and turn the inverter on without shore power or generator power and test each outlet and mark those that have invertor power. That is the only way to know which outlet will be powered from the invertor, and you can use the invertor while driving down the road and the alternator should recharge the batteries as you drive, within reason, depending on how much draw you are taking out. Make the test and have fun.
