Plugging shore power into inverter
I'm about to buy an inverter for my travel trailer. It has no 12 volt outlets, so I think ac is the easiest way to go. Can I plug the shore power plug (with an adapter) directly into the inverter an...

The furnace runs off of 12V DC only and the television on 120V AC. Operating the furnace shouldn't have any impact on the television, except for potentially creating a voltage drop that went low enough to trip the inverter on low input voltage. That seems unlikely on a 6 battery bank though. How is your inverter installed? Wire gauge? Wire length between inverter and batteries? How is it connected to that bank of 6 batteries?
