inverter

My Xantrex inverter doesn't work and I'm having alot of trouble getting it repaired.
We are leaving on a ten day trip ,we will have shore power for some of it. Does this mean the batteries won't charge?

Inverter vs converter

Sorry your inverter isn’t working.

The charger for the house batteries is the converter… ac power to dc charging. When you are plugged in the batteries will still charge. The inverter “inverts” the DC power from the batteries to AC power (or not if it’s broken like yours).

You should be fine to charge when plugged in on your trip.
Depending on the batteries you have you may also get a charge from your tow vehicle as you drive.

Hope you have a wonderful trip!
