2016 Thor Outlaw 37LS

[Conrady6243]

Should the power inverter using battery power operate all the outlets?
The only things currently that work off of the inverter are the refrig, (tv, satellite and dvd plugins which are in cabinet above recliner) The general outlets above dining room table, above sofa, in bathroom, outlets above sink, in bedroom, and garage and hall DONOT work unless shore or gen power is on.
Is this normal for this model?

Also, what makes the subwoofer under the dinette bench produce sound? At first there was no light so I checked fuse box, no fuse so I put one in.
There is a light on it, it is plugged in but nothing seems to produce sound from it, tv stereo on dash or stereo in garage...I have turned subwoofer on the dash radio system on, but I have the big speaker taking up room under the bench for nothing at this point.

I'm not familiar with your LS, but the manufacturers do seem to limit access to power; when you're not plugged in.
Try playing some music that has a really strong Bass section: that'll tell you if the sub-W is cooking!
(I wouldn't dare suggest any of what I listen to: it's known to be toxic to humans! )

Normally the inverter is only going to power the fridge and entertainment circuits. Adding anything else and the inverter might not make it through the night without alarming or the batteries going dead quickly.

But I do wish an outlet on the countertop was on the inverter for the coffee pot. Yes it would draw a lot of amps but only for a short time.

Ever figure this out? I have read this same issue in other forums also.

yes that is normal. I have a 2018 37rb. My outlets and microwave and all won't work unless my generator is running or I'm plugged into shore power

Magnum CVWS2012 series has a 30 amp pass through relay and the Xantrex Freedom XI also has a 30 amp pass through relay. It is relatively easy to replace the Xantrex Pro (15 amp pass through) in most coaches and add another circuit breaker panel (Lowes @ $16) to handle all the 120 volt duplex outlets in the coach. The only real problem was the Xantrex Freedom XI is 9" longer than the Xantrex Pro so it was a really tight fit under the bed, but you get a pure sine wave very efficient inverter.
