I have a 2004 35’ Holiday Rambler Adimiral SE. I want to replace the factory 130 watt inverter with a 3000 watt inverter. I know the new inverter won’t physically fit the same location, so I would like to place it next to the battery compartment. I need a basic wiring diagram for the coach. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
Bob Waggoner

Bob-

I have wiring diagrams for your coach. If you send me a private message that includes your e-mail address, I'll send the diagrams to you. Don't "publish" your e-mail address in public here, or the spammers will get it. Instructions on sending a private message are here.

That 130 watt inverter is most likely feeding a TV. The right way will be for a 30 amp breaker and 10 gauge wire from the main panel to the new inverter. Ideally an inverter with auto pass through relay and a charger. You will need at least 600 A/H of battery capacity and 3/0 wires to feed it. This would be ideal time to go lithium. Then it should feed a sub panel with the loads/outlets you want it to feed moved to that panel. You have some work here.

I have tried to send you a pm but keep being told that the username doesn’t exist. I’m obviously doing something wrong.

If you click once on my handle (see picture below), then click on the second item ("Send a private message to l1v3fr33ord1"), you'll be able to send me a private message.
