Inverter Swap 1000 for 2000watts
I have a fried 1000watt inverter/ charger, and I am wondering if I can swap it w a 2000watt one without any other changes to my electrical system.? They are the same brand and are the same exact unit,...

LOL roadrunner
1. the original freedom 10 is not working it is sitting torn apart in my garage w what i assume is a bad pass-thru relay.
2. the freedom 20 I got off ebay amazingly came w what seems like the exact same issue (ac will not pass thru) as my broken original freedom 10. The seller has agreed to refund me and let me keep the thing.
3. I never bought another freedom 10 I bought a control panel for $20 off ebay (for a desperation test) and asked the guy I bought it from which unit it came off. He replied "a working freedom 10 which you can have free if you pay for the shipping". This is the unit that arrived yesterday and I installed and it works perfect. Freaking incredible!
4. I spliced the negative cable as mr. wizard told me to and the spliced part is actually inside the rv dry and safe. I realized both cables on the old freedom 10 were spliced so I didn't feel to bad about it. For the positive cable I was able to just move my 200amp battery fuse a little bit under the rig and make it reach with no splice.
5. I did NOTHING to repair any of the freedoms LOL.
In the end I actually feel like I did a better job w the install than it was stock thanks to all your guys help and the fact that I had learned so much about what the hell was really going on in and under my rig lol. I noticed right at the end my battery isolater connection nuts are rusted bad and now I feel the need to repair that too lol. I can't thank you enough man you helped me out so **** much on this nightmare lol. I need to start a new thread on the propane system and if I should keep my stock fridge or not now! This forum has amazed me and now I'm going to move onto the fun stuff that I was planning to do before I fried the thing!
