Inverter/Converter

[HighwayJunky]

Just purchased a 2015 Ellipse 42QD after experiencing travel in a Newmar Ventana for several years. I was accustomed to manually turning on and off of the inverter during times when I wasn't hooked up to electric so that my fridge would run. Of course I wasn't using the generator at the time either.

Now in the 42QD I am not finding as to where to turn the inverter on and off. No switches that I have found !! In reading the manual I get the sense that this function happens automatically in the 42QD, but ref ridge doesn't come on and I am concerned since I plan to travel from the east coast to the west in a few weeks.

Appreciate some creditable advise to help me or simply ease my mind...

Thanks, :h

Yup, look at your inverter remote panel and inverter/charger owners manual.

Also, a good idea to confirm that it has been properly programmed (also in inverter/charger owners manual).

Most RVs don't have an inverter. You may not have one. When not plugged in do any 120 volt devices work? Do any of the 120 volt outlets have power?
