Hi all. New member here about to pickup a Grand Design this weekend and I'm already planning out upgrades to make the rig 100% usable off grid.
I'm versed in electrical but the whole inverter/charger thing is new to me and I have concerns with the split phase nature of them.
Can someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if you run one leg of the 50A service to the inverter and the second leg directly to the panel, when the inverter is running wouldn't you be backfeeding the second leg.
Seems that unless you kick off the breaker to that leg your shore power connection will be hot. My old Lance 5th wheel only has a male connection so that would be a major concern.
Any input your have is appreciated. Thanks.
No back feed. It all depends on how the inverter is wired. Inverter can power just circuit hooked to it OR it can go back to a split buss panel and feed just a few things in 1/2 of the panel.
I think the newer high end all electric coaches it can feed the whole panel but I have no first hand knowledge on that.
