How To Power AC Appliances In Trailer With No Shore Power

Question

Question:

Will this be what I need to have full power when Im not hooked up to the power supply in the park I live in? Lots of power outages last year and only the running light, fridge and water pump worked. No outlets or other lighting. So I would like to solve that problem to have full power when the power goes put again.

The Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger part # PD9160A is a device that takes input from an AC power source like shore power and then uses this to charge DC batteries. The DC batteries would then provide power to 12 volt accessories only. If you have AC 110/120 volt accessories that need power while an AC power source like shore power is not available then you will actually need an inverter such as the Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter part # 34279950. In order to find the correct inverter we will need to know the power requirements of said device/devices.
