The only RFI I usually get in my OFF_ROAD POPUP setup is coming from my standalone POWER INVERTERs being run off my battery bank.

These two electrical drops are Velcroed to the back of a cabinet top available to use 120VAC items... My Ham radio picks up all kind of RFI noise from this setup...
I have a 1500WATT PSW Power Inverter to use as well but it very seldom turned on... It also will generate a lot of RFI signals.

My House 1000Watt UPS Unit runs all the time with no RFI signals being generated on my Ham radio bands...
