Ready to get my feet wet with Solar power
Thought I would post my idea here and let the experts tell me what I am missing. First off, I own 2ea RV's. 1 is a gooseneck horse trailer with living quarters and the other is a bumper pull prowler....

You might be right about not being a good inverter. I have a couple of cheap ones that plug into the cigarette lighter (400a max) and use them periodically. They have lasted longer than I expected. Well, with a portable system there is alway's the possibility of theft / vandalism. This is my first attempt so I am kinda "prototyping" the system I need. If it looks ok for long term the next time I buy an inverter I may pick for better quality. Like car's the expensive ones get stolen so maybe they will just pass up my stuff.
As far as 12volt power - Of course each of these RV's have their own battery. The gooseneck has 2ea 12 volt batteries and the bumper pull has 1ea 12 volt battery. When I plug the extension cord in the "converters" on the RV's will keep the on-board batteries charged plus supply 12volts for the RV's. I didn't understand the "you need an lc (inverter/converter) to charge" comment.
