Hi MiRV,
No, solar panels can not power the existing converter.
Yes, you can add an inverter to have 120 volt power available without shore power or a generator.
What size is the battery bank in amp-hours?

I'm looking at installing a portable (to start) solar solutions with about 200W on the RV and would like to know if I can setup the solar to connect to the converter/charger installed in the RV.
I upgraded my Magnetek 6345 last summer when the system had some issues. The NEW 6345 uses a 3 stage charger (much like those in a Solar Controller). Therefore, to save money on the initial configuration, I'd like to wire the solar panels into the converter/charger to charge the batteries vs running the generator.
Additionally, I'd like to add an inverter (2000) so that I can run other AC appliances…but I'm not sure on the charging/configuration for this.
Is this possible to use the converter/charger and then install an larger inverter for the DC to AC? And if so, how do you do it?
Thanks
