Extra Batteries and Inverters
I saw this article and thought it was pretty neat. Since I want to add aux tanks in front of the rear fenders, I like the lift off wooden box that sits on top of the fender the best. https://www.tr...

Are you using a relay or something to disconnect the converter when the inverter is on? How about the air conditioner? Are you disconnecting that when running the inverter, or do you have a huge inverter and battery bank to run the AC?
I don't think this was directed at me, but I had read about killing the converter with the inverter running. Seems to me that a simple trigger wire from the output of the first transfer switch could feed a relay to keep the inverter on, then when the second switch hits it'd lose that input and stop charging. As for the AC, my intent was to just leave that be. I plan to have 4 batteries total which probably wouldn't run the AC for very long, but it's as simple as just turning that off. My challenge now is to find a 3000W pure sine wave inverter that can be hardwired, all I'm seeing so far is inverters with ~4 outlets on the front panel.
