Great info, keep it coming, I'm just trying to wrap my head around it all.. so hang in there.
smkettner:
So as I'm seeing it, there could be two components, the inverter (IN) and the Switch (SW).
Dan:
Same sort of set up, IN and SW.
I'll be looking at the Tailgator too for the same reasons.
While the Switch isn't required, it's nice to have.
I'm not clear on the positioning of it all. While I won't be doing it myself, Electrically Challenged, I'd like to know the "Pecking order" from the 2-29 Batteries (BAT).
So as I'm seeing it here, it would go like this.
BAT >SW >IN >device, TV etc.
Dan, the Tailgater plug (haven't seen exactly how they work close up) would go where??
Previously, I had big red knob to manually do that on my Tear Drop with a separate outside AUX power battery. The Tear Drop though apparently had an automatic sensing switch internally by itself? as I could plug in to shore power or just go with battery. It would also keep charging the battery of course.
Are the above switches the same thing, In other words if I got an Auto switch, I wouldn't have to worry about it either shore or battery?
The switches that you both referred to, is the automatic way of "Switching" (go figure on the name) from Shore power to BAT power automatically, so I wouldn't have to turn the "Big Red Knob".
Is that making sense?
I'm thinking, that I'll just start off small, with a 300w or maybe the 600w, DB, I'll have to wait on the 2000w one, heheh, until later that is...
so, how does that lookg...
BAT >SW (next to battery compartment >IN at the tv source cabinet.?
or am I missing something..
thanks all..
