Outlets Off while Boonedocking

My TT has two 6V batteries but I'm adding two more shortly by installing a large aluminum battery box where the two batteries sit now sit between the tongue rails. You should also look at 300 - 400W of solar.

Here is a 30AMP Power Configuration Plan that might give you some insight how things works...

Everything works around your 120VAC and 12VDC Power Distribution Panel...

Okay seriously---- not being a smart-ass here--- but where do you think a hundred twenty volt power comes from if you're boondocking --and you're not plugged into anything ?????????..:h


Of course your Outlets aren't going to work !!!!!!!!:S

The alternative is a generator --OR-- if you have a big BANK of batteries you can use an inverter---- but you're going to be limited by how many batteries you have ,and how much power you have a need to use.
Now in order to replenish those batteries you're going to have to get solar power solar panels to replenish the batteries--- or run a generator to charge the Batts back up .

I suppose you can take along one of those little windmills( to recharge).. if you really wanted to ---but -----you know you cant always count on wind huh.....L.O.L.

Shows, you never ask a question (which you are looking for a simple answer) on this forum, unless you want a "smart ass answer" from a genius.

I hoped that 1 outlet would have already been designated to work for a short time with an inverter, Bfast54. Thanks for your help. We Hope to go solar to recharge.

Thanks STBRetired

Please read this:

12v side of life. before doing your own work. And then read it again.

Second 12V battery goes in parallel, not series.

Currently we have 1 12V Batt, but plan on a second in a series.
