This 12V inverter, with built-in transfer switch, changes DC output from your RV batteries into AC power and sends it to the electrical system. Using pure sine wave technology, it creates clean power with low distortion, making it safe, efficient, and perfect for sensitive electronics like computers. The inverter can generate 2,000 starting watts and 1,000 running watts which is a great fit for appliances and electronics. Additionally, with the integrated transfer switch, it will automatically change from inverter to shore power when available.
Functions and Features
To connect your AC loads, the inverter includes hardwired input and output terminals. It also has positive and negative DC terminals that connect to your batteries. Lastly, there is a port for the included fixed-mount remote. The system includes a number of safety features. It has a reverse polarity protection that will protect the converter if the battery is hooked up incorrectly. Additionally, the unit includes protection for overvoltage, undervoltage, and overloading which can damage your equipment, as well as the converter. The built-in cooling fan also removes excess heat from the unit. The fan speed is proportional to the internal temperature on the converter, so when the power demand is low, the fan will operate quietly. For additional safety, installing a 200-amp fuse (sold separately) between the battery bank and the inverter will protect your equipment from power surges.
Built-In Transfer Switch Automatically Switches to Shore Power
The integrated transfer switch selects the primary source of 120V AC current. This switch has been pre-wired to automatically change from inverter to shore power to conserve battery life. It includes a 20-amp leg rated at 135V. Additionally, since the switch only accepts one active source, it protects your electrical system from dangerous backfeed that can damage your equipment.
Fixed-Mount Remote Provides Easy Monitoring and Control
The fixed-mount remote lets you monitor and control the inverter from inside your RV. It includes a digital display that shows voltage, output power, error codes, and a low battery indicator. It also has a power button to turn the inverter on and off.
How It Installs
The inverter mounts inside your RV in a dry location with ventilation. It should be installed close to the battery bank, but not in the same compartment.
The DC terminals are wired to the battery bank.
There are several ways to connect the inverter to your RV's electrical system, but this will depend on your rig and how you want to use your inverter. If your RV's distribution panel only has one leg, a subpanel will be needed for installation. You will also need a 100-amp circuit breaker between the inverter and battery positive post. Two 20-amp circuit breakers will be needed to channel AC power from the main panel into the inverter and then out into the subpanel.

Purchased this inverter for sole reason to run my new RV 120v a/c refrigerator. I recommend the remote panel, easy off/on as well battery voltage indicator. The existing circuit I used for refrigerator also was for a few receptacles, handy to have for cellular WiFi router while under way. Has been a year now, no regrets, I like it.

Thank you ertrailer for a web site that is easy to navigate and find the products that best fir my needs. I found that the inverter was well documented and easy to install in place of my old inverter. It is quiet and has an informative status screen. The distribution panel and charger was easy to install but I wish there was more documentation to go along with it and assist in understanding how it operates. I submitted a question regarding its operation to support and received a comprehensive reply. i am very pleased with the products and the etrailer support.

Has worked well when used..wish I'd bought the 2000 watt. But no problem so far.

I replaced an older Xantrex modified sine wave inverter with this one as my new TVs would not work with the Xantrex. Fairly easy install and reused the telephone cable from the Xantrex remote. I did have to re-termninate one end of the cable to emulate the supplied roll over cable. I did this to avoid re-routing cables. Bottomline, my TVs and all electric fridge work great now.
by: Mark07/09/2021
Seems like a very solid reliable unit. I replaced 300W unit with this 1000W and added an outlet with 2 USB chargers so I could charge our laptop and phones when not on shore power or generator power. The remote is also a nice feature with useful information at your fingertips. Installation of the inverter and the remote were straight forward well illustrated with measurements for the remote.

The frame was bent when opened. Appears the unit may have been used. I’ll test the unit within the next few days to determine if it’s defective.

I am in the process of installing the unit. I did set the unit up for testing and it worked fine. The unit does have a high no load consumption of 17 watts with inverter on and 5 watts when passing through ac on the transfer switch.

I have gotten in contact with the manufacturer and they have confirmed that those numbers are correct when the inverter is not in use. This unit should be having power running through it at all times when connected. If you do not want any power running through it, you will have to disconnect it when its not in use.

etrailer should take some lessons from Amazon. When multiple products are sent to a distributor in a large box or pallet, the individual items should then be shipped for an order in a secure package. etrailer simply slapped a label on the manufacturer’s flimsy carton and tossed it to USPS who succeeded it breaking the single stran of tape around the box. When I received the package, the box was totally opened on one end and the inverter mounting tab was bent. Not the delivery I would expect for a $600+ item.

Installation of PD9260C into Parallax 7300 power distribution panel
I purchased the Progressive Dynamics PD9260 to replace the power converter in my 2007 Airstream. My trailer had a Parallax7300 power distribution and power converter (AC to DC) installed from Airstream. I decided to replace just the power converter after it had failed. The PD9260C fit perfectly where the previous converter was installed with very little modification or effort.
I simply removed the older converter, removed some standoffs where the previous converters circuit board was mounted along with the old fan, and then drilled some holes to mount the PD9260 in the mounting tray of the old unit. I wired the new converter to the existing connections and tried it out. Everything worked as expected.

I installed this in my camp with 400 watts of solar an a LFP04 battery with a generator hookup. I use the lithium charge profile and it works great. It runs my 12v rv refrigerator with no issue.
by: Jonathan02/07/2024
Very concerned about this. Unit arrived via USPS in an unmarked cardboard box with zero packing. There was at least of clearance on sides which means it was banging around in the box the whole trip. Looks like a return. No hardware, or screws included. It wasn't even in a bag and "manual" is a corner-stapled 8.5x11 photocopy.
I wasn't planning on installing this right away, and now I'm thinking about returning because I don't want to have problems down the line due to unseen damage or broken solder joints. Very sketchy.
by: Dan01/13/2024
A little bit confusing when speaking with sale team, received conflicting information regarding converters application. Shipping was fast but converter container was damaged and poorly packed for sensitive electronics. Previous business with etrailer has been stellar. May be awhile before I can hookup converter, so hopeful nothing was damaged!
by: Chad01/11/2024
I purchased the Progressive Dynamics PD9200 to replace a failing OEM converter. The unit is wider than the original but with some minor wood work I was able to install it in the original location. As soon as I powered it up all of our problems in the 2018 Forest River 5th wheel vanished. Our main issue was flickering LEDs which drove us crazy. Time will tell if this is a quality product. etrailer is amazing to work with. The item arrived ahead of the estimated delivery date. It was packaged in the original box so the serial number on the unit matched the number on the box. No fear of counterfeit items from these folks.
by: Larry04/23/2024
Nice unit, I wish the exterior would be something other than plastic and the install directions were more precise. The PD045 sits close to the floor and a case of something other than plastic would be more durable. Perhaps an aluminum cover would help. The new unit replaced a 25yo and my Leisure Travel RV. The new 4045 works well. It took a year to installs as I could not find a local RV place that would work on the replacement. Decided to educate myself and installed the unit this spring ( I bought the 4045 model last summer). The etrailer install videos were useful as well as numerous YouTube guides. However, much better manufacturer instructions would have saved a lot of time.

Works great and is lithium capable . Far better charging of my house batteries than the wfco that came with my trailer
by: Wes 03/01/2024
Bought this distribution panel for an enclosed trailer build and it has been perfect! I coupled this with a 100aH lithium battery and Renogy lithium battery monitor; the built in lithium charging support has been a great option. After figuring out all of my wiring it was a very simple install and the blown fuse indicators are great for quick trouble shooting.

- Does The Progressive Dynamics 1000 Watt Inverter # PD94FR Detect The Battery Type Connected? The Progressive Dynamics 1000 Watt Inverter # PD94FR is not able to automatically detect the type of battery it is connected to. There is also not a switch which allows you to tell the Inverter if you are connected to either lithium or a lead acid battery. It would be best to integrate the inverter with a Battery Management System # RED88FR so you can protect your lithium batteries by disconnecting power when it reaches a certain state of charge.
view full answer... - Can I Run An Inverter Off My Trailer Batteries To Power A CPAP Machine All NightHello Scott, it certainly is possible to run an inverter off your trailer batteries in order to power your CPAP machine. I am not sure exactly what machine you have but it looks like most of these machines are going to need in the neighborhood of 40 to 50 amp hours per night. So as long as your batteries are able to meet this kind of output, plus any other electrical devices you may be running, adding an inverter such as the Progressive Dynamics 1000 Watt Inverter w/ Transfer Switch # PD94FR...
view full answer... - Installing A Progressive Dynamics Inverter In A 2022 Keystone Bullet Travel Trailer The Progressive Dynamics # PD94FR does indeed have an internal transfer switch, but because of this will require you to have a second hot bus bar for the circuits you want to power with the inverter. If your panel only has one bus bar then you'll need to install a subpanel and move the circuits you want powered by the inverter to the subpanel. When AC shore power is available the transfer switch will shut the inverter off and allow power to flow through to the subpanel. When AC shore...

- 2006 Eclipse Attitude Toyhauler CS6000XL Converter and Distribution Panel ReplacementTransfer switches do make an audible click so that is most likely what you are hearing but with that said your American Enterprises Distribution Panel Converter CS6000Xl does not have an built in transfer switch. The Progressive Dynamics panel part # PD4560K18LS8 that you referenced does not have a transfer switch built in so if you needed one as well you'd want the part # PD94FR. You probably have a transfer switch already which may still be working.
