Power to outlets

I have a Thor Freedom Elite 29FE and would like to know how to have outlets work going down the road without the generator. I was of the understanding that at lest one should work

In order to have 120 volt power while on the road you need to run the gen. or have an Inverter. If you have an Inverter it must be ON. Inverter would only power a few outlets and the fridge if resi.

Page 62-3 of the owner manual has inverter operations. You may not have this option installed. <https://media.thormotorcoach.com/media/13220/tmc-owners-manual_my2019_0412440_rev-181005.pdf>

Without a residential fridge that coach was not built with an inverter, so no inverter equals no 120 VAC unless plugged into SP or the generator is running. Hopefully this clears up your understanding.

Now, if it is a used coach the PO may have installed an inverter but you will need to do some sleuthing to determine that and how to turn it on and which outlets it may power.

but you can easily pick up a 'Power Inverter' at wmt in the tire/battery section and simply plug it into your round 12v outlet to give you 'outlets' for any TVs, receivers, dvd players, device chargers, computers, fans, etc.
