Does anyone use Verizon's or AT&T's "Home Phone" in their RV from their RV batteries and not an AC inverter? The reason I am asking is I have encountered a problem using a Verizon “home phone” along ...

Thanks SCVJeff,
I am currently using a 12 DC-DC converter to isolate the ground and all works fine. Was just looking for a different way around the problem so I don't have the inefficiencies of the isolation power supply or an inverter. Was hoping someone might be using a different brand of cordless phone so I don't have to purchase and try different one to find one that may work. I think they are using the fact that the wall worts isolate the ground, and yes.....that sux

OP- have you watched the off hook DC voltage as well as static? All signaling and audio should be transferred over the RJ-11. If the design is such that the electronics grounds need to be DC isolated and the manfacturer is relying on xformer isolation of the wall worts... That sux.. You can find DC-DC converters on eBay that might work but it sounds like you need to do a little research with a DVM or scope and see if ring ground is being carried through via DC ground and giving the appearance of the phone hung up :(
