Inverter On or Off

If I'm plugged into a 30-50amp plug, does the inverter remote inside the camper need to be on or off? Hopefully an easy question. Any help would be appreciated.

    x2. And that depends on whether this is a whole-house inverter or just selected circuits. Sorry.. inverter questions are rarely easy!
  • If it is programmed as most inverter/chargers are, the question is:

    Do you want the inverter to supply circuits IF the shore power fails.

    On most, the charging and "pass-through" feature work whether the inverter is turned on or off.
  • Quick search says this should be one you have. You need to find the exact part number on your unit. If it is this series you should leave it connected.

  • It's wired into the battery. There is a remote switch inside the camper on the light switch panel. Not sure if it's a inverter/charger or straight inverter. It's a Magna Sine Pure Sine if that helps.
  • I leave mine on all the time. This way if the power has a hiccup or goes out, I don't even notice. It switches to battery so fast, the AC appliances don't know the difference.
  • Depends on the inverter.
    Is it an inverter/charger or a straight inverter?
    Does it have a feed through setup?
