Vailya Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Hello all long time lurker first time poster, i recently bought a 87 escaper and am taking on the project of installing an inverter, solar controller, and 200w panel. i have spent the last few days going circles in my mind so any advice will be greatly appreciated, as i am not very electrically inclined. i have a renogy 2000w inverter that i’m trying to install, and i’m confused about the proper wiring while maintaining as much original wiring as possible. am i going to need a transfer switch for switching shore power and the inverter power? can i wire the output of the inverter right to my circuit breaker? i want all my outlets to be on with the inverter, if that clarifies anything.

WME Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 An ATS would simplify things greatly. Install things so that the inverter is "the generator" Just cut the shore power cord where you want to mount the ATS. The shore power cord then goes into "power "on the ATS, the inverter to the "generator" and the short bit of the old shore power cord goes to the ATS output. A warning of sorts when the inverter is running the RV the original converter is trying to charge the battery that the inverter is drawing power from, a vicious self defeating circle. Answer.. find the C/B for the converter and remember to turn it off when ever the inverter is running. OR get this ATS that shuts off the converter automatically. Go Power GP-TS 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctgriffi Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) I could be wrong (!) but, as a guy who works in tech all-day, every-day, I think we might be dealing with a bit of AI-generated dialogue... or somebody's just copying/pasting nice snippets from the Interwebs 😁 Edited February 7 by Ctgriffi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdahoDoug Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Interesting, I saw the other post and thought the same thing. It's that "helpful, but vague advice that's totally predictable and reads like a government brochure" tone, that often means it's just AI punching in for duty.
