Expert Answers about Thor RV Inverters


  • Solar Power and Inverter Options with 2021 Jayco Eagle HT Fifth Wheel
  • For RV application I prefer the Go Power brand of products. If your camper is pre-wired from Jayco I believe they are using the same brand. There is typically two options available in pre-wired from the factory for "solar ready" either using a portable solar connector on the side of the RV or they have installed a Go Power cable entry plate on the roof. You will need to first determine the energy demands being placed on your batteries. If you will only be running the outdoor mini fridge...

  • Recommended Inverter, Tranfer Switch and Solar For Tiny House
  • The Go Power Weekender ISW RV Solar Charging System 34282183 is a step down from the Go Power Solar Elite Charging System # 34282184 that you were previously recommended. The Weekender will come with a 1,500 watt inverter, transfer switch, solar controller and 190 watt solar panel. An inverter remote panel and solar control panel will allow you to monitor the power usage. You will need a Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger # PD49RR to charge your Lithium...

  • Non-Combustible Backing Board Needed For Mounting A 3,000 Watt Inverter
  • To mount your 3,000 watt inverter you can use a sheet of aluminum or steel that's just heavy enough of a gauge to not bend under the weight of the inverter or you can get a cement board from your local hardware store and cut it down to size. I recommend checking out the HVAC section of your local hardware store as there will typically be some sheets of steel/aluminum that would be cheap enough to not break the bank and thin enough to not add unnecessary weight to the trailer.

  • 2000 Watt Inverter for Solar Setup
  • Based on your information it sounds like the best option would be the Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter # 34278156. This is a 2,000 watt inverter which does not include a transfer switch. It uses pure sine wave technology to replicate household AC power and safely run your devices. You also have the option to add a remote like the # 34266886 or the # 34279999 which monitors voltage, output power, inverter status, and power saving mode.

  • What is Needed To Switch To Lithium Batteries and a 2,000W Inverter On The Go Power Weekender Kit?
  • The Go Power Lithium RV Battery # 34282738 has a 100-amp hour capacity. You will need to compare this to the current flooded batteries you have installed to determine what increase in capacity will be. Whatever the increase in amp hours is will be the amount of capacity you are increasing. When you do switch to lithium batteries you will only need to change the charge profile on the Go Power PWM Solar Charge Controller that came with the Kit. If you choose to move to the 2,000 Watt...

  • Do Rooftop AC Units Require AC Only Power or Can An Inverter Be Used
  • AC units like the Furrion Chill HE Replacement RV Air Conditioner Unit for Furrion Setup # FR26PR was only designed to work off of 115VAC, unfortunately but the thermostat does need 12VDC,so you could use your 12V battery for that.

  • Should Transfer Switch be Replaced at Same Time as Upgraded Converter on RV
  • Hey Jean, so it really depends on the rating of your current transfer switch if you should replace it with the part # PD64FR at same time as when you install the converter part # PD9280A. The new converter is rated for up to 1,300 watts so your current transfer switch would need to be rated for at least that to get full advantage of the new converter. If not, then it would be a good idea also go with the new switch part # PD64FR which is rated for 2,000 watts.

  • Parts Needed to Run 110V AC Refrigerator With 12V DC
  • What you're looking for is an inverter which converts 12V DC power to 110V AC power.

Something like the # 34282690 is rated for 200 watts while the # 34278156 is rated for 2,000. Lo que está buscando es un inversor que convierta energía de 12 V CC en energía de 110 V CA. Para encontrar el inversor del tamaño correcto, deberá calcular el consumo de potencia de los...

  • Converter for RV with 3 Battery Lithium Battery Bank
  • Hey Greg, so Lithium batteries do require special converters since they charge at a higher voltage. The Progressive Dynamics part # PD4560K18LS8 is lithium compatible and can put out up to 60 amps so it would do a great job keeping your battery bank topped off.

  • Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter & Battery Chargers For 12V Lithium or 24V Lead Acid
  • You will be able to use either the Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger 60-Amp # PD79RR or 45-Amp # PD69RR to charge your lithium battery. The difference is going to come down to the maximum rate of charge that can go to the battery or batteries if you add a 2nd battery, which results in how quickly the battery can reach a full charge. The higher the amperage the more output to the batteries. Since your tiny house is using 24v lead acid batteries I recommend...

  • Wireless Or Wired Trailer Brake Controller Installation Parts For a 2016 Toyota Highlander
  • To install a wireless brake controller like the Curt Echo # C51180 on your 2016 Toyota Highlander you will need our 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit # ETBC7. This will connect to the factory 4-way flat pin connector that came on your Highlander. You will need to run a power wire to the front of your Highlander to power the charge line that powers the brake controller. I have linked a video below for an installation we performed on a 2019 Highlander with these same parts. Do understand that when the...

  • How To Determine The Correct Solar Panel System For Your Needs
  • It's a common misconception that solar panels can directly power equipment or appliances. Solar panels actually just collect power and transfer it to a battery. The Goal Zero Yeti 400 Solar Generator - 110 Volt # 287-23000 you were looking at is basically just a battery that has multiple connections to power different appliances. This system would be totally separate from your RV's electrical system and would require you to plug anything you plan on running into the generator. The generator...
