I knew it was made by Xantrex but i never though to look for the Xantrex equivalent model. I found my schematic.652Views0likes0CommentsRe: Older Xantrex Inverter transfer switch function- How to?

I have a 10 yearold ThermoKing/ Ingersoll 1800 watt inverter (Actually made by Xantrex) It's a modified sine wave but it works great. I have no paperwork but I've read that it has transfer switch function. There are knockouts on the front and a bus under the cover for input and output (120VAC not the DC input) I can't find any info on how to wire it. I have some big AGM batteries and I'd like to make this into a UPS for freezer. If I can get the transfer switch function to work.

toedtoes wrote: I'd also add that I bet you'd find the majority of folks renting out RVs on Outdoorsey, etc, are doing so with units purchased specifically for the renting and NOT their personal vacation RVs. Yes, that's what I've heard. they start with their own and if it works out they get another just for rental. In my case, i have three so it's just a matter of not renting the next one i plan to use. My wife likes to camp in the hybrid within a few hours of home. The GMC is for tourism and the van will be for epic road trips. At least that's the plan.777Views0likes0CommentsRe: renting out your RV? Success stories? Issues?

Perhaps that’s because there aren’t very many. No significant failure stories either. But someone is renting these things. It would appear those people are not in this forum. I already know some people are succeeding at this. A big Class A in my town, and a Van Life type with a conversion similar to mine, both have told me it's working pretty well. I was seeking a bigger data set.251Views0likes0CommentsRe: renting out your RV? Success stories? Issues?

Be grateful for any legitimate input you receive. That made me laugh. This thing that LOTS of people are doing (15,000 owners on Outdoorsy, 100,000 on RV share) Is a terrible idea according to people who have never done it. I don't ask people who don't have a passport about travel to Ethiopia. i know the vast majority of RV owners would never rent it out. most won't loan their camper to family members. Which is why i did not ask "is this a good idea"251Views0likes0CommentsRe: renting out your RV? Success stories? Issues?

THis is not some lumbering Pace Arrow on an overloaded Didge chassis. - I think people will pay a premium for the cool factor. Or they won't- but it won't go out cheap.251Views0likes0Comments
