I didn't touch anything in the breaker panel to get inverter power to the outside tv and in fact, haven't done anything to it. I know better than to start rewiring things from the factory. I basically did what you did and I think I actually got the idea from you. I was able to access the plug behind the mid tv when I replaced it and ran a drop cord just as you did. Last year, I took a small fan and while only on the inverter, plugged it into each of the outlets and made note of the ones that worked on the inverter. I didn't do any rewiring at all. The outside tv worked fine on the inverter. Also, the outlet above the sink worked on the inverter and the outlet on the shelf above the fireplace along with the bathroom outlets. I haven't ever used them on a trip, only tested them when I first bought the coach and was checking everything out. Seems all the outlets with the little white sticker are wired to the inverter. I have a tech coming out tomorrow afternoon and going to be on the phone with Magnum in the morning also. I just need to get this fixed so I can get it listed for sale. lol.

I was correct SavnTheWales, It was a post that I had about getting the tv off the wall that you replied to about switching the outside tv to the inverter. Here's the post you made about it.

You will also notice that your outside TV is not on the inverter. That sux because you have to run the generator to watch TV outside, which is noisy. I was able to solve the problem.

In the mid bathroom there is a mirror on the side wall, you want the mirror farthest to the back. Remove it and you get access to the rear of the TV over the fireplace. There is an outlet that the TV plugs into that IS on the inverter. Simply buy a 2 into 1 adapter and a 12ft drop cord. I suggest a drop cord that has a 90 degree plug on it. Run the drop cord down the wall and it will come out under the refrigerator. Then simply route the drop cord under the cabinet until you get to the drawer. The outside TV plug-in is on the floor. Unplug the TV and plut it into the drop cord. Now our outside TV can run on the inverter! No more generator noise when watching TV!

I have the exact same RV… year and model. I do not have power to any outlet in kitchen or above the fireplace when on inverter. I confirmed with the wiring diagram that I got from Rev Group.

So with that said, what are your current concerns? What is not working?

All fixed! It was a combination of a bad part and poor memory. This is the part I absolutely hate. Humbling myself. Read on. Yes, I do believe that there was an issue with the remote and it's nice with the new one that can be programmed. Using a multimeter, the outlets were only reading 107 volts but when a load was put on the inverter, jumped to 115-ish. The tech from Magnum said there is up to a 5% variance on the inverter and I'm in range. All are working fine now. However.....SavnTheWhales is correct on which outlets are on the inverter and I was wrong. After much deep thinking and trying to remember about the outlets I mentioned, the lightbulb lit up. I had a note in my phone that had the listed outlets that I had mentioned and was stubbornly convinced that what it was for. Finally remembered why I listed those outlets. As previously mentioned, we had someone staying in the motor home for a couple of months over the winter and she used a couple of space heaters. She kept tripping a breaker so I went through and found out which outlets were on that breaker so the heaters could be on different circuits. The note that I had made was for that and not which outlets were on the inverter. It was for which outlets were on a specific breaker. I do know that the remote was bad because the outside tv and main cabin tv were not working on the inverter and are now. Finally have it listed for sale as I can't sell something when I have any doubts or concerns about something or if things aren't working right. Anyway, yes, I screwed up. lol Please forgive me irv2 community!

I’m not seeing how the remote can determine whether your outside and main cabin TV will or will not work??
