1000w should probably do it then yeah?

For now I will transport my tank on its side and pull it out set it upright for use when parked. Is that ok?

Thank you for the quick reply totem. Do you think the tank that came out (which looked the same) is ok horizontal? Or should i just buy a replacement ?

Hey guys the problem ended up being the buss fuse housing was toast. Fuse always looked fine and not blown but once i replaced the in line housing everything works perfectly. Thanks for your help. Does anyone know if there is a way to wire my outlets to work on the battery power and not just when im plugged in?

ive been having issues lighting my refrigerator and heater with propane. I believe both the pilots need to be replaced since the burners and water heater work fine. But im reading about the differences between horizontal and vertical mounted tanks. The tank i have in is a regular propane tank you would get a freddys or where ever (blue rhyno) mounted on its side. Is this safe? Does anyone else have this set up? 84 dolphin. Thanks

Converter

Oh and the cut extension cord was a obviously shotty repair by the PO in place of the wire running from the coach battery to the inverter. Maybe the old one rubbed and failed sometime in its life. Sorry for all the replys

Motorhome is at the shop, ill get more info off the box when i get it back. Sorry im not well versed in this sort of thing. We tested the battery at the shop, im not sure how much load was put on it or if it was a carbon pile tester or not. I have the paperwork on the converter or inverter iwhichever it is ill look through it in a bit to find out for sure, but i do know it is the original one for the motorhome. Which is a 84 national dolphin. The box rating is 50 and it has two breakers a 15 and a 20 installed.

Size for the box is not a concern and my neighbor is going to help me with the wiring he is a electrician by trade. So if its not the budget extension cord repair causing it not to work what else could it be? One of the solenoid looking things under the hood maybe? I believe the invertor to be in working order since i hear it humming when im plugged into the house. Thanks for the reply/knowledge

hey again! I have had problems with my electrical running off of the deep cycle. Tested the battery and it holds at 11.2 under load. I guess it might be the obvious in this situation. Someone replaced the wire running to the inverter with a cut extension cord. Now the gauge of a single wire looks correct for replacement but they capped all 3 to run the power through. Is there too much dispersement happening for enough power to reach the power center? Everything works fine when plugged into the house. Final question is that i want to install a 3rd outlet under the sofa to plug my tv into. Are the outlets the same for 110 home outlets? (Besides shape/depth/dimensions) or do i need a special 110/12v outlet? Thanks!

Good to know, I'll check through the throne. And I guess for grey water just drain it when you fill it and you'll have no problems. If I'm having an issue with the deep cycle should I post that in electrical section or appliances? Thanks guys for your quick responses! There's life on this forum after all!

hey all, new to the board here. Hope this is in the right section. I just purchased a nice little 84 dolphin. Everything seems to work so far except I can't get the accu have panel to light up and give me tank read outs for levels. I tried calibrating and had no luck. The water pump switch on the panel works fine however. Could it be the 30 year old lights have burnt out? Thanks in advance. Cheers
