if you are always going to be 'plugged in' to Shore Power at rv parks and campgrounds, then your concern would only be during the 'travel' time, right?

if so, and if the air supply can run off it's own battery during travel, then you only need the Electric when parked, I'm assuming... but if you DID need to recharge the battery during travel, you can certainly run your generator to provide all the power you need.

I don't see that you'd need a special inverter, more batteries, or anything else unless you are truly OFF-GRID ... which may not be what you are looking to do if you really have a health-related appliance that must always be powered.

if you DO want to power the air or the battery charger, while traveling, and without running the generator, you could certainly purchase an easy-to-use off the shelf inverter at Walmart, in the automotive battery section, that can easily power up to 750w or higher, either by plugging it into one of your 12v outlets powered by the House batteries, or by directly connecting the inverter to the House batteries via the supplied alligator type clips.


no worries.
