Adding Inverter for dry camping
I would like to add an additional battery (have one group 27 now), possibly a solar charging system and an inverter. I hate that the 120V outlets don't work on battery power. Seems crazy you can't...

The transfer switch is a great way to go and many install them. But I did not go that route for 3 reasons;
I did not want to spend the $$ on one.
I did not want to wire it into the converter, though I'm capable of doing so, but was going to make the wiring more time consuming and complicated.
Transfer Switches "can" go bad.
As I mentioned above, I installed an external receptacle and plug the shore cord into it. It powers the entire trailer and I have one less component to worry about. Either way works fine.
