I appreciate you guys saying I should call an electrician. I was in the house construction business for over 35 years and know a good amount about ac wiring, its the dc side Im not 100% on. :) As far as installing the inverter, if I don't understand 99% on how it works then I will be on the phone too one of my subs. Again thanks for that advice. Getting to dam old, not sinking in like it use to...:)
Why would I need a transfer switch if one is in the inverter? My run from battery to inverter is about 6', so Im using 1 awg welding cable with a 300 amp line breaker. Should I install a disconnect? Running from inverter to RV panel box is 10/2 romex. I don't have the inverter yet its on order. I want to pre wire while Im waiting for it. I realize I can't run air and heater off the inverter and my though was only have those breakers on while hookup to shore power, but if you think a sub-panel is better then I will install one. The information Im getting on the internet is that I should take out the existing converter, because the inverter is a charger/ats. Since you just installed one could you send me a wire diagram on how you installed it? Would really help (pictures worth a 1000 words).
thanks
