300 watt inverter input wiring
Morning all!
I did search a bit thru a few inverter threads here.
Hard for me to tell what's going on though.
Bought a Samlex pure sign inverter to run a tv and disc player in the fiver.
I know I need to get close to the batteries.
Samlex recommends 4ga input wire for runs over 10 feet and longer!
At least that's what I thought I read...
Could I steal DC from the 12 volt fuse box I was hoping the input there might be 6ga or higher?
DC runs to the Genesis and the antenna amplifier in the rear on 10ga wiring, yet the voltage drop is too severe for the inverter.
Still don't know how I can get 120 to the back wall.
This coach has 3 slides so getting wire back there will be a challenge.
Maybe one of the breakers isolates the rear wall outlets.
Could go up to and down the ceiling to the rear wall maybe with wiremould.
Just a note:
We have three size 29 batteries and a 2 circuit marine cut-off switch installed also.
I appreciate your help as always.
