Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / August 2007Electicity/Battery Help Needed
I have an 1965 shasta trailer with a 15amp circuit running two interior lights when connected to street power. I also have a battery with an inverter to use when dry camping. I would like to find an inexpensive solution that will allow me to connect the inverter to the same lights that are connected to the circuit breaker. In other words, some way to have the option of switching from two power sources (battery or street power) connected to these lights. I do not want to purchase a new expensive inverter. Thanks so much, Doug Plug your shore power cord into your inverter. The only problem is that the inverter will try to charge the battery through the converter and waste amps. If you flip the converter's breaker, this is not a problem. I interrupted the converter's supply with a relay powered by the inverter's on switch. >I have an 1965 shasta trailer with a 15amp circuit running two > interior lights when connected to street power.

When we got our first TT way back in '73, the first order of business was to get rid of the 120 VAC stuff, and rewire (reconnect) the entire rig exclusively for 12 VDC. |
