I don't think I have that? My Pure Sine Inverter is
https://www.magnum-dimensions.com/pr...ter-csw-series
I have both options available for it, the remote switch and the Transfer Switch that allows Shore power or Genset to pass-through automatically.
I don't think I would want the power to Inverter Hot all the time because the Coach Battery is ON? We use our Inverter as
EXCEPTION.
i.e. When no Genset / Shorepower... if we wanted the outside fridge on, or wanted to watch TVs, WIFI etc we turn on to get the limited DC supply.
When traveling, I may turn Inverter on to run the inside Norcold fridge (so as to NOT use propane while driving) and outside fridge, rarely if ever do we use TVs or WIFI when traveling.
But my puzzlement is about regardless to what I may be doing or not doing, if I turn the House Battery Switch off shouldn't everything that run off the batteries shut down? Winnebago is telling me it should, other owners are saying it should, seems to work that way with Thor, but I have not seen or heard how it is suppose to be wired up to see what I have different?
The fact that it makes sense to me that the Inverter should NOT be downstream from the Battery Disconnect Relay makes it even more of a gap as to how is it EVEN Possible... short a hard Disconnect Switch at least on the line that feeds the Inverter? But if I do that, I might as well just use the switch that is already on the inverter, or the switch on the inside remote and go into cabinet and turn off the Ant/Cable booster?
Or if I wish to really show how much I have put into this, I could turn off the Chassis Disconnect switch whenever I shut off the House Battery Disconnect switch, but that would be letting Winnebago off the hook
Right now they are telling it is suppose to shut everything down... If so; am willing to go to Missouri; because I am in the Show Me State of Mind
