Still a little confused as to whether or not I have a sub panel somewhere now? If not how are the fridge and TV outlets getting their power from inverter?



I can see the converter right beside the fuse box its kind big and labeled but just wasn't sure where in sequence it was.



I knew this was confusing which is why and didn't tackle this myself but my installer who has been "doing this for years" (actually referred by someone on here) said he was puzzled and would have to go do some research.

The Converter is powered by 120 VAC from a breaker in the Main Panel.

Most OEM coaches do not have a sub-panel. They have a single line of outlets that go to the TVs and Fridge from the inverter's ATS. The Main Panel has an output breaker that goes to the Inverter as the other source for the Inverter's ATS to the TVs/Fridge line.

You need a sub-panel to do what you are trying to do which is power all AC loads except the Converter and A/Cs.
