2010 Bay Star outlets powered by inverter

I have just purchased a used BS and slowly going through the issues. When I turn on the inverter the only thing that powers up is the TV, I think. Does anyone know which outlets are powered from the inverter? Manga 600w mm-r.

Help will be appreciated. Hopefully I don’t have to rewire.

600 watt is only going to power the TV.
Sound like there are two different levels on inverter available in your coach as was mine, when it was built . 400 watt for TV only; and an optional, 2000 watt , that powered up most outlets in the coach.

Our 2000 DSDP was like that, only the entertainment system.

With all due respect I have been in and around those sites indicated and unable to find what I want to know. I have tried search and other ways to find things out to no avail.

If I upped the inverter to 1200, I think I understand that I will have to add new outlets in the coach that run to the inverter. My needs are modest, but running new circuits does not seem cost effective. My hope would have been a brief use of a hair dryer, but I think I m better off just running the generator.

Larger inverter , particularly for use with a heating device ; toaster, hair dryer ; would also require a battery bank up date , even to use for a short time .

I think that the gen set will be your best $$ option.

NorCal27, I guess I should have givin you this link from same BAY STAR Section, ADDED BATTERIES FOR BOON DOCKING AND TWO SOLAR PANELS, sorry thought you might check out BS section on your own.
Also with the first link I gave you in it you would find information about the Newmar search engine which would have lead you to this search result.
The search would give you plenty of information for what you seek, even your question on page 3.
