30 vs 50 amp electrical issue help
Hello, I recently purchased a 2023 heartland mallard 32ft travel trailer. When I bought it at dealer they assured me it was a 50 amp service during purchase and during walk through. During walk thr...

Doug, Keystone offers this as an option when ordering a RV.
SOLARFLEXâ„¢ 1200I-L
The gold standard for solar power performance. With 1,200 watts of solar collection and two powerful Dragonfly® 270 Ah lithium energy storage batteries, SolarFlex 1200i-L is the ideal setup for power users looking for extended boondocking adventures.
WHERE does that state it will run a AC on 120 volt? Doug
COMPONENTS
2, 30A solar roof ports w/ MC4 connectors & 10 AWG MPPT solar charging circuits
4, Future Solutions 300-watt solar panels & CS2 splitters
2, 50A Victron SmartSolar MPPT charge controllers w/Bluetooth app
3000-watt inverter/charger w/ built-in transfer switch (all outlets inverted)

Victron Cerbo GX
Battery Guardian
2, 270 Ah Dragonfly Energy heated Lithium-ion batteries
Precision Circuits power control system
that system will run the AC, for how long is the question
I would guess though about 8 to 12 hours before the batteries are close to dead during the day, assuming the AC never shuts off and that's all that is running. Although with 1200watts of solar you're getting close to that daytime sustainable AC depending on the AC size and the type of solar day, but still a little low in my mind.
It does NOT state that the roof AC 120 circuit is part of the Inverter. Just, ALL receptacles. You could rewire to connect the roof AC, but there is NO WAY 2 Lithium Batteries will run a roof AC more than a few hours. Remember, Diesel and some Gas Motorhomes have up to 6 batteries and a 3000 watt Inverter and they do NOT wire the Roof AC's thru the Inverter. Just not effective to do so. Doug
really Doug? When they install inverters now days and they tie them with the auto transfer switch like it says it has, everything in the coach has power. Why would they specifically mention soft start ac if it wasn't meant to run? heck my 2000-watt inverter was even done this way. I don't know what kind of backwoods job you would have to do to use an auto transfer switch and take the AC out of the loop as it wouldn't work on shore power either then. We are not talking about generator tie into the auto transfer when you get this kit as it is a replacement for generators for folks who care about their neighbors haha. So you have the shore power and the inverter as inlets to the transfer switch and just the original feed out to power the whole fuse panel.
