Back-feed AC panel with inverter?
Finally installed a PV system on my 2008 Classic. Have wanted to do that since picking it up in late 2007.
Once that was done, an inverter seemed like a logical companion.
Since I don't have the factory wired dedicated inverter outlets (and snaking outlets is out of the question), I back-fed the inverter to the gaucho outlet where the converter/charger is plugged in.
I put the converter/charger on a short switched extension cord (so I could disconnect the charger when the inverter is engaged- don't want a circular drain).
It works like a charm.
The whole Airstream is energized with AC.
Besides the 20a limit on the outlet and wiring going back to the panel, is there anything I'm missing?
