Inverter

[tcopeland]

I have a 400 watt inverter on our rig.
Rig owners manual is extremely vague on inverter operations and the inverter manual is hard to understand.
Is there someplace to go to get simple to understand instructions on rv inverter operations.
Simple things like "when to turn it on and off". "What it can help run or not". "On during cg power/genset power".

400 watt inverter... Most likely the Television or house radio, that's about all.

Find the thing and see if there is a switch on it. Now, also if you can see if there is a 120 volt wire (Romex) going in as well as out (There should be one going out from it, if there are two odds are one is an input.) if it has any "Status lights" does one show AC-IN

Do the following tests.. With the rig plugged into at leas 20 amps turn on television and/or house radio. Note status lights on inverter.

Pull the plug, see if it switches to inverter power.

If it does check all outlets epiclly kitchen and bath. (use a night light)

That's about it.
