THOR #13410
Hurricane M 29 Inverter(s)

We have had our 2018 Hurricane for only a few months and still trying to figure out how everything works. My question is about the inverters. From what I can determine we have two separate inverters, one appears dedicated to the residential refrigerator. There is one switch near the refrigerator and another on the opposite wall. The switch by the refrigerator is made by "Go Power" and the other is by "Xantrex". I'm not sure if I'm correct and if I am, I don't know if they work in conjunction with each other or separately. The other possibility is that one is for the solar "ready" plug on the roof, should I install a panel. I can't find any clear information in any of the literature that came with the vehicle. Any help would be appreciated.

We also have a 2018 29m, you are correct in that there are 2 separate inverters, the main inverter for the TV's, outdoor fridge and computer work station is a Xantrex and it's under the bed.
The Go Power inverter powers only the main fridge and it is located behind the drawers in the bedroom right next to the fridge.

.
In my coach, the computer work station in front of the passenger seat has its own 120 watt inverter.

That helps a lot. Thank you. So I guess there is no controller for the solar panel hook up?

No solar controller, the solar pre-wire is under the bed where the inverter is and they are not terminated, they should be a couple of orange wires that are probably just coiled up.

"Solar Ready" typically means only there is a wire somewhere running from the roof down... that's about as 'ready' as they get...
