A transfer switch is installed to prevent power from being drawn from multiple sources (i.e. shore power, generator, inverter). The Go Power ATS # 34264403 you were looking at is for transferring back and forth from inverter and shore power. Transfer switches are wired so that one power source (typically shore power) will be dominate and when connected to it would automatically switch to it.
If you were using an inverter to power your RV and then connected your shore power cord to the... view full answer...
The 6,000-Watt Portable RV Inverter Generators part # 333-0002-2-0007 are not offered with dual fuel as with most inverter generators. In order to obtain dual fuel you would need to go with a standard generator like the Firman 7,125-Watt Portable Generator part # 333-H05751 which does have a dual fuel mode along with a 7,125 starting and 5,700 running watt rating. view full answer...
Everchill recommends using a pure sine wave inverter to ensure a clean and consistent power supply to the compressor of the # 324-000118 refrigerator. The refrigerator draws 2.5 amps which would convert to 300 running watts. Multiply that by 3 to get the necessary wattage for compressor start-up, which would be 900 watts. So, in order to power your refrigerator you'll need an absolute minimum of a 900 watt inverter. This assumes that the refrigerator is all you're wanting to power with... view full answer...
You are correct that the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center # PD4135K is only a power distribution box and charger for your batteries.
If you are going to run power to the Progressive Dynamics distribution box off of a shore power cord and an inverter you will need to also use a Automatic Transfer Switch # F30ATS. The transfer switch will allow from power to come from 2 different sources. When you disconnect your shore power or if the power were to go out it will automatically... view full answer...
None of the AC units for an RV are 12V or 24V. They all are 120V.
I'll use the Advent Air for example:
Advent Air RV Air Conditioner - 13,500 Btu - White # ACM135.
Rated: 120V.
Air conditioner power draw (while running): 15 amps.
Compressor power draw (while running): 9.9 amps.
Fan motor power draw (while running): 2.6 amps.
If you are in need of an inverter to turn your DC power into AC power to run an Air Conditioner I recommend going with the Go Power heavy duty sine wave.

Yes, you will need teflon tape rated for use with propane.
The MB Sturgis Propane Hose Assembly - RV Type 1 w/ Back Check x 1/4" MPT - 12" # 100473-12 does not have an inverted flare in it so it will require tape on the end leading away from the propane tank.
An example of the inverted flare can be seen on the MB Sturgis Propane Pigtail - Stainless Overbraid - Type 1 x 1/4" Male Inverted Flare - 2' # 100833-24. If you look at the fitting running away from the tank you will see the flare.

The 3,200-Watt Portable RV Inverter Generator part # 333-0003 comes with a two year warranty. That said, we have had extremely positive reviews from these generators so it is unlikely you would ever need to use the warranty. We also have tons of replacement parts if anything were to happen outside of the warranty period as well.
In regards to repairs, the amount of time to complete this would largely vary based on the issue. The headquarters for Firman (manufacturer) is located in AZ so... view full answer...
It all depends on what your objective is, you need to have a system that meets your power demands.
For RV's, the industry standard has developed to be AC/DC distribution panels combined with inverters and battery chargers all in one package. The Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger, # PD4045KA and the its other variations such as the 60 Amp, # PD4060K or 75 Amp, # PD4575K18LS8 are great examples.

The 2,000-Watt Portable RV Inverter Generator - 1,600 Running Watts - Gas - Manual Start # 333-0001 does have an LED oil alert. The Firman brand has been making generators for over 17 years and I believe this model is at least 4 years old as it does utilize newer technology for the inverter. We are pleased to partner with them for our etrailer branded generator you referenced.

We do not have a pigtail hose that is larger than the 1/4 inch, which is the standard size, and the Winntec 6020 is honestly something I would replace, as it has been recalled in the past. Due to this and the hoses not being available, I highly recommend going with a better quality automatic changeover regulator with standard size pigtail hose fittings:
- Automatic Changeover RV LP Gas Regulator # 37207-30395
Then for a pigtail hose you can use any of the following, depending on the length... view full answer...
Watts divided by volts equals amps, so 65 watts divided by 12 volts is going to equal 5.42 amps. Your battery should have an amp hour rating that you can divide by 5.42 amps and then you'll know exactly how long the battery can maintain the draw from the fridge.
For example, the Go Power Lithium RV Battery # 34282738 has a 100 amp hour rating so you would get 18.45 hours out of the battery. That being said a fridge isn't going to constantly be running and depending on the climate you... view full answer...
An RV air conditioner system is going to pull roughly 100 amps per hour so you wouldn't be able to run it long enough with your current battery bank. RV solar unfortunately isn't at a point where it would replenish the battery bank fast enough to maintain the draw that your AC would put on it. You would need a much larger battery bank, a lot more solar panels, and peak weather conditions to accomplish what you're wanting.
The only way you'd really be able to boondock and still run your... view full answer...
To calculate power consumption simply multiply wattage by the number of hours it is being used. Remember to consider type of current, AC or DC. The number of watts is equal to amps multiplied by volts. Your battery bank is rated in Amp Hours, AH. If you have a lithium chemistry battery you can use almost the entire charge before voltage drops below a usable range. If you have a battery bank that is lead acid chemistry, including those labeled as AGM or Gel, you can use at best half of... view full answer...

There's a lot here, so let's go ahead and take these one by one, yes you can still use a plug-in portable solar kit, and as far as lithium batteries, their cost can be justified, but it's hard to give a blanket statement about worth. Their value comes from the fact that you get more life out of them per use, and they last longer. For example, let's take the Go Power AGM RV Battery - 100 Amp Hour # 34276285 vs. the Go Power Lithium RV Battery - 100 Amp Hour # 34282738.
