You will need a plug on the outside of your 2021 Ram ProMaster 2500 and the wiring for this plug. In addition, you will need a converter to convert the power from 110V to 12V. I recommend the Furrion Replacement RV Power Inlet - 30 Amp Twist Lock - Stainless Steel, part # F30ITSSS. The twist lock keeps this cord weatherproof.

You will also need a transfer switch and a converter. You can get both with the Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger - 2,000 Watts - 100 Amps - 12V, part # 34280055. It will automatically shift power from your battery when you plug into shore power and charge your battery. The Installation Kit for Go Power Inverters - 300 Amp Fuse - 12V and 24V, part # 342GPDCKIT4, will provide you everything you need to install the inverter charger to your RV's battery.

You will also need other wiring and electrical parts you can find at your local hardware store. I have included product description links, video review links, and a weblink about 30 amp and 50 amp RV service below.

Answer 7

I can definitely understand not wanting to re-size your current 2-1/2 inch hole, but the smallest size hole that will allow a 30 amp rv power inlet is 2-1/2 inches in diameter, so that would be the smallest hole size you would need. For that you…

Answer 8

You will not want to wire the batteries in series as this will increase the voltage but not the amp hours. Wiring three 12v 55ah batteries is just going to give you a 36v 55ah battery which will not be compatible with an inverter. Instead you'll…
