Power outlets not working on battery power
Our 2016 heartland trailer plug outlets do not work when I'm on battery power only shore power. Is there anything I can do to change this?

As stated, you need an inverter if not connected to 120v shore power. Inverters can be as small as 100 watts or up to several thousand watts. To run power hogs like a microwave or coffee maker, you need a large battery bank (4+ batteries) and large gauge cables to run from the batteries to the inverter. If you just want to run a small tv, you may get by with one battery and a small wattage inverter. Then you also need a way to charge the batteries (a generator or solar panels).
