Solar system with both 12v and AC inverter
So we should be picking up our new Fuel Toyhauler on Saturday and we need to install a solar panel kit with inverter. I have about a zillion questions regarding solar, but my most pressing question...

Your TH likely already has a Pure sine wave inverter, for powering TV's or the fridge. In my Winnie I simply tapped the TV outlet in the bedroom with an extension cord for the CPAP on nights we are not connected to shore power.
I should learn more from the tech guys when they do the walkthrough on Saturday, but the salesman didn't think so. I am not sure if the TV is 12v, or if maybe the generator has an inverter connected to it somehow? I really have no idea. My understanding is the generator needs to be running to power things like the AC, tv, outlets, etc. So maybe it does have an inverter and the salesman just doesn't know?
The spec sheet only lists a 55A converter and 30A shore power. I'm not even sure why those figures are different, which tells you how ignorant I am on the subject lol. I'm currently drowning in solar info and looking at brands like Victronic, Renogy, GoPower, etc. It's overwhelming.
