One thing to avoid is powering the converter via the inverter. That will deplete your batteries quickly and may cause other issues.

Is this not self evident? :R

No its not. Not if the response is to avoid powering the camper with the invertor.

My future mod is to add invertor and wire the outlet to another outlet under my camper.

This way when boondocking I can access all my outlets in the RV.

Simple plug the RV into the invertor..

When doing this if you dont turn off the invertor charging circuit the batterys will continue to try and charge themselves. And will soon be dead due to the eff losses.

First of all it's an inverter. And yes, it should be obvious that if you simply plug your trailer's main service cable into an inverter that in turn is being powered by batteries that are being charged by the trailer's converter then you've created a closed loop. As I said - self evident. :R

Not every one knows this... Cant be rude to the newbees This site is to help others that may not know or need help..

Not everyone knows there is a charging circuit breaker..

You must know everything then.

This site is to help others, not for disparaging comments like you have...

All my opinion of course...
