Replacing magnetek 6300 with inverter/charger
Hello all, I have a 1994 coachmen class B RV which I'm in the process of re-modelling. It has a stock magnetek 6300 converter. It has been upgraded with solar and a battery isolator for charging th...

You can also add a small inverter and add in a couple of new outlets just for that inverter in a couple of convenient places.
Hint, used a different colored outlet to indicate that it is only the inverter output. You can also use a plug from your added wiring to plug into a inverter, while not as ideal as a hard wired setup it is not a big problem either as long as you are not trying to power heavy current items.
Since you are also planning to mostly boondock, perhaps might want to consider some sort of "remote" capability to turn off the inverter when not needed..
That can easily save you a lot of battery capacity.. Typical inverters can have a no load idle current of .5A-2A.. That is 12Ahr-48Ahr of battery capacity used just to run the inverter per 24 hrs.
