inverter

I am in the process of buying a new 2022 Big Country 3155 RLK from a dealer. During the dealer PDI we found that the inverter wasn’t powering anything. None of the outlets were powered and the inverter didn’t appear to be on (green power light on the inverter switch inside the RV was on). I...

Hello everyone we are a new RV full time family. We currently own a 2014 Heartland Gateway 3650BH we are having a bit of trouble getting the residential fridge to work on shore power. Everything else works other than the outlet under the microwave so we know the shore power connection is good...

I have a 2019 Cyclone 4005. I just got home from a camping trip. When I plugged my 50 amp back in, my front ac would not power on, my receptacles are not working. The middle AC, the Rear AC, and other have of the receptacles work. I plugged the camper back into my truck and it works fine. Is...

We just picked up our new 2021 Big Country 3155RLK 5th wheel. Trying to figure out what outlets are powered by the 2000 watt inverter. We missed powering it up on the walk thru, just slipped thru. Fired it up when we got home and had no power on any outlets. I found that they did not plug in the...

Hello, I currently have a Heartland Prowler Lynx 25LX which is 30’. This is a great camper and we use it quite a bit. We have started taking trips where we may be boondocking periodically without our generator, such as in a Wal-Mart parking lot or a state park. I have spent a lot of time...

I recently had an issue on my 2015 Landmark where the residential refrigerator would shut off by itself. It was the only piece of equipment in the RV that wasn't working while on 120V shore power. The issue was difficult to diagnose because the power would come back on it's own before you...

New here. My Dad recently died and left a 2009 Heartland Trailrunner which he loved. I think its a 30 foot model. I've tried desperately to find manuals but to date have worked through trial and error. I have two questions that are increasingly critical for me. First, is there a switch that...

After going back and forth on deciding a route to take with a new converter and getting an inverter, I decided to stick with PD. At this time, we don’t need a whole lot of AC power when the Gen or Shore power is disconnected, thus the reason for the 1000W inverter. With that in mind, I decided...

Hi all, brand new to the forum. And new to troubleshooting electrical issues so please be kind! We have a 2012 Bighorn Silverado with the rear bunk house. Recently we tried to use 30amp, and nothing works except our 12v stuff. If we plug into 50amp all is well. I can't find any blown fuses or...

Have an 2011 Bighorn 3610RE. It has a Cummins Onan model 5.5 GJAB Generator (runs off propane) which I rarely use. I run it usually once each summer for an hr but not the 1hr per month as stated in the manual. it has a Magnum Model ME2012 inverter charger c/w ME_RC remote control it also has an...

Hello I have a 3000w inverter hardwired to a sub panel that handles only the plugs for the inverter. My problem is when I turn on the 120v breaker to the kichen slide that also holds the tv and entertainment center my amp reading on my battery goes from 4 amp to 34 amp and voltage drops from...

Well folks... it happened... "Ducky" has been broken into!! (while in storage). I was just down there less than 2 months ago to check on it and all was great! I go down today to get her ready to bring to Spring Break the week after next and the door was busted open!! They didn't just bust open...

anybody got experience with any of these hybrid inverter/chargers that control all sources of energy - shore+gen+batteries? They can grab power from the batteries for short spike events like when you start up an a/c unit if your shore or generator can't do it without a voltage drop. none of...

Hi everyone! I did a search but finding a whole solar setup plan is proving difficult. Picking up our new 3760EL Big Horn tomorrow morning. It currently has the residential refer and the standard 2 12v batteries/inverter/switch that come with that option. We dry camp and the residential refer...

Hi. This is my first post to a forum, but I've learned a lot reading through many of the forums. I am trying to determine which circuits to power through an inverter. I plan to move the circuits to a subpanel. I know for sure that I will power the GFCI, bedroom, and living room outlets and...

This is a follow up to several different threads about inverter problems in Heartland 5th wheels. If you own a Heartland 5th wheel with a residential refrigerator, please take a moment to answer this survey and see a) who is effected by this problem and b) what has Heartland done to fix it for...

I just purchased a new 2015 Sundance 3600 qb. The dealer I purchased through was, unfortunately, very unhelpful in this area. Living in Colorado, some users are saying that the altitude will not allow proper AC start-up with daisy chained Honda or Yamaha 2000's. A step up from this might be...

Hi All, I have a Bighorn 3260 EL and just winterized the rig. Here is my question. I have a battery disconnect which I turned on (to disconnect). I store the RV in our yard. Can I run shore power to the rig now? I have been told it's OK, others have told me not to because it burns up the...

A couple weeks ago I signed the papers on a TQ290 I can't wait to get, literally I can't wait. I usually research things to death and this purchase has been no different. I originally had a Kodiak 292TQB on order but due to some time delays I cancelled that order and signed the deal on this...

I recently finished installing additional batteries in my Cyclone 3010 (see thread //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/22253-Cyclone-3010-Battery-Upgrade). I have now begun installing an inverter. I chose a Magnum MS2012. I had initially thought to use a Xantrex ProSine 1800 inverter, as...

I'm installing a Magnum MS2012 inverter, which has built in battery charger, in my 2011 Cyclone 3010. I think I've got the AC wiring side figured out, but I want to make sure I'm on the right track with regards to the DC connections. My understanding is that all I need to do on the DC side...

Greetings, My wife and I purchased a Road Warrior 2010 305RW last fall and we love it. I have purchased an Energy command auto start from Cummins/Onon and I will install it next week when the Y adaptor wiring harness comes in. I live in Arizona where it gets pretty hot and it's nice to run the...

Recently bought a new, 2009 model year 3914 and was considering adding solar panels and batteries because I have previous experience with solar systems. However, learned that my tow vehicle actually charges the battery in my 3914 when driving down the road, and the generator charges it at night...

Wondering if the 2010 Cyclone 3010 comes with an inverter as well as a converter. We went camping with a friend last weekend who has a Weekend Warrior that came from the factory with a Xantrex inverter. My friend said your new Heartland has to have an inverter if mine does. I don't think this is...

I have installed an 800W inverter in my basement on the front wall above the hole that goes to the hydraulic slide system compartment and ran the wires thru the hole and hooked it to the battery in that compartment. I plan to use it only while traveling to operate a 2.5 cu. ft. freezer that we...

We are just installing and inverter. Instructions say ground wire should connect to common ground. What is the common ground? Is it the physical chasis? (Is this different than the negative black wire from battery that connects to negative bus bar?) (At Flathead Lake MT now - heading for Coeur...

Could anybody tell me where the inverter is located.

I was set to buy a Sunforce pure sine inverter, but then I read a couple of very negative reviews, one of them talking about how much power the unit draws just for itself. I don't recall the number exactly, but it seemed way too high. I don't need many watts, perhaps 500-ish. Can anyone...

As I sit here shopping for a modest (500 to 600 watts, I think) pure sine inverter, it occurred to me that I should probably as the group a couple of things. Our 3055RL has 2 x 6V golf cart batteries in the same compartment as the slide hydraulics stuff, and the unit was factory wired for an...

Why does the power inverter only work with the genny but not just off the batteries? For example I was trying to figure out the tv working when off shore power without the genny. Is there something I can switch? I realize I run the risk of running down both my batteries but I would like to...

There is a black vent in the storage area, what is it for? It's not for heat, it actually is counter productive to heat.... Maybe Jim can find out why it's there.

Hello Everybody, New user and new owner of a 3300BHS here. Situation; I tried to hook-up a second battery and an inverter(2300w) I ran the batt's in parallel (12v) and hooked the inverter to one of the batt's. Problem; the reverse polarity fuse (40w in the converter) is blowing (melting the...
