Jacked your to house batteries

[countrykids]

When boondocking, can I plug the RV into a Jackery unit to transfer amps into the house batteries? I know I loose some power going from 12 v to 110 and back but I am looking for an easy way way to make those available to the whole RV.

Thanks.

Yes, how overall effective it will be I guess depends on size of Jackery unit. Much easier for us to utilize onboard solar and/or genny when off the grid in our motorhome, one button convenience to enjoy all the creature comforts our rig provides. Unless we are RVing in extreme temps solar covers most of our power demands, sporadic genny usage covers extended convection microwave usage and quick recharging of battery bank with our 100 amp smart charger on cloudy days or when parked in shade.

Do you mean going from a generator to a transfer switch to the battery charger and from the battery charger to the battery and from the battery to an inverter in order to have 120Vac?

What do you mean by Jakery and what is that?

The battery will give you 12Vdc power to the 12Vdc circuits, and the generator will give you 120Vac power to the 120Vac units AKA. air condition, refrigerator, TV and water heater if so equipped and all the 120Vac outlets and will charge the house battery and if it has an isolator the engine battery will be charged as well.
