Question:
I just bought a Jayco 38-FBRK and trying to figure out solar system size. Has 1800w 12VDC refrigerator, plus all the other normal accessories. Not sure Id need to run the a/c, at least 1. Also plan on adding a 3000w Honda generator for A/C amperage assistance. Would like inverter/charger that automatically switches shore power/solar/generator, whatevers available. Do yall help with stuff like this? Thanx, Randy

Hey Randy, we do have an inverter that has a transfer switch built into it with the Progressive Dynamics part # PD64FR. This will switch between power sources like you are needing.
For picking out a solar setup it's also important to know how big your battery is but the 800 watt Go Power AE-4 part # 342-75010 is a really solid option that can put out 800 watts of solar power.
I attached a couple links to this page that cover determining exactly how much solar power you might need as well for you to check out.

Hey Randy, did the inverter with the transfer switch work out for your setup? I'm curious to know how your solar system planning is going, as it could help others looking to set up a similar system.
