Question:
You guys have been great at answering my questions, thanks. But I have another question. Ive been trying to install my 2000 watt inverter in my 5th wheel that doesnt have any outlets that are wired to an inverter. My trailer is prewired for a generator that has a transfer switch that is wired into the rest of the trailer. My question is, can I wire the inverter into the transfer switch and power the plugs in the trailer? I wouldnt be trying to power the acs or any other power hogs but I need to get power to my bedroom plug for a CPAP machine. Thanks again

Yes, you can wire your Inverter # 34278156 to your Transfer Switch # F30ATS to be able to power your CPAP in your bedroom. Do understand since the entire RV will be able to receive power this may cause you to quickly drain your batteries since more than just the CPAP will be drawing power. You may be best to mount the inverter in your bedroom so only the CPAP can get power from the battery lowering the draw on the coach battery.
