| Inverter Installation Method
Last week I ordered a Flying Cloud 27FB; and I still have some time to change the options. I didn't order the boondocking package from AS but arranged with the dealer to install a 85w solar panel, 4 Lifeline batteries, solar charger, 2000w inverter and an auto transfer switch that routes the 110v from the inverter to the converter when shore power is removed. This means all the 110v outlets in the trailer will be active. But it seems to me there's going to be a waste of power; I'm taking the 12v from the batteries to the inverter making 110v; which in turn powers the Parallax converter which turns it back to 12v.
My boondocking will be limited to 1 night sleepovers. I will install a satellite dish on the roof.
Am I doing the right thing by this configuration or am I better off with the factory option instead. I think the factory method with it's 650w inverter powers only select outlets.
Maybe keep my original config but not have the inverter's output not sent directly to the Parallax?
What do you guys think?
Thanks,
Ron
