Does wiring my 400w inverter output to shore power connector on outside seem smart?
Benefit I see is any AC plug is hot and can be used within 400w limit. No rewiring of Camper and install is very easy.
Drawback I see is batteries may try to charge off inverter output. Could probably solve this by pulling a fuse. Any other drawbacks I’m not thinking of?
Nope. Just make sure its a floating nuetral inverter. Ground the case to frame of trailer as specified in the instructions.
I ran an outdoor ext cord from pass through where inverter is to under the RV to a 30 amp TT outlet.
I just plug the camper to this when boondocking..
You need to find the charging circuit breaker and flip it off when you do this.. Some are isolated and on their own breakers, and some are tied to other things in RV.
