Inverter Question

I assume you want to provide 30 amps to a load at 120 volts. If the load is purely resistive, a 3600 watt inverter would, in theroy, run that load. However, if the load is complex with capacitive, inductive or combined reactance, it can take an inverter up to 50% larger to sustain a 30 amp load.

So, what are you wanting to run and , more importantly, HOW will you generate the energy needed to replenish the battery?

Smly I am not fully mobile just now (I am but not motor home)

Some things I can do long distance,,,Some I need eyes on.. But what is the make and model of your converter.....IF you have a single door that exposes both 12volt fuses and 120 volt brakers..What is the make and model on that door.

There is at least ONE converter I know of where it might be an easy fix.

You're right...I only read a few and jumped in. Sorry I was not helpful on this one. That won't happen again.

I want to thank each and everyone of you who tried to help me. Most of the technical stuff I didn't understand, but feel I know a little more than I did. I will take it again to a different rv shop while the lights are off and hope someone else can find the problem. It makes me feel good to know there are so many willing to help. Thank you so much.
