2016 Ace 30.1 Inverter?

[Troy G]

Is it possible to run the house tv’s while not using shore power or generator? If so do I need to swap out my converter for an inverter?

In my 2013 Ace 30.1, the main TV runs off of 12v (battery), but I am not sure about the bedroom TV.

My original 2013 ACE 30.1 TVs were both DC only, and while they worked; they were both junk (main was Jensen and Bedroom was Skyworth branded). The Jensen TV weighed a ton.....mileage probably went up when I replaced that one. I replaced both DC TVs with HDTV LG and Samsung AC units. So if you want to run your AC only TV’s while boon docking an inverter will be required (preferably a pure sine wave inverter). The converter should remain to charge batteries and help power DC loads when on SP or Gen. You may be able to retrofit a converter/inverter combo unit, but it just complicates the electrical installation changes with physical limitation issues etc.

It is possible to run the TVs on an inverter. You do not need to replace the converter, just add an inverter.

It is best to get an inverter with an Automatic Transfer Switch on the 120 VAC output so it automatically supplies power to the TV circuit either from SP/Generator when available, or from the inverter when not.

In my ACE, all the TVs were run off the same circuit (same breaker in the power center).

I just installed a 1000 watt inverter in my ACE to un the TVs and a couple of outlets on the same circuit for entertainment and Internet/Network equipment.

Here's a SIMPLIFIED installation schematic:


Here's a good choice of Inverter:
