Inverter/solar install questions
I am installing an inverter and solar panel setup in my Volante 380MD 5th wheel. I have a Magnum 2812 inverter, 2x 100AH lithium batteries, getting 400AH more of batteries soon. What I am thinking...

This one?
I assume 50 amp RV?
MS 2812 has a transfer rated 30 amps per pole. You can parallel them for 60 amps on one leg. For a 50 amp RV and using the built-in inverter transfer switch you really can only power one side of the RV. You will want to load the inverter items onto the inverter side and non inverter items on the other side. In a way this resolves the sub-panel issues. Also you only need 6/2 wire to make the round trip forward to the inverter and back to the main panel.
2812 Manual see p25
Good points, thanks. We often connect to shore power at 30A and haven't really had issues with it, but am I limited to 30A in pass-through mode using shore power with a single unit? We don't really need A/C or elec. water heater, so when inverting, 30A is enough.
