2021 Big Country inverter outlet's

[Delcour's]

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 110 plug into the 2000 watt inverter. Only found one plug, not two. Does anyone know what outlet are powered by the 2000 watt inverter. Tried searching for it or a wiring diagram, and can not find anything this new.

The inverter is for operating the residential refrigerator when not hooked up to shore power. In the posted picture below the the inverter is the transfer switch for the inverter. There is a remote switch for the inverter inside the trailer near the lighting control panel. Take a look at this guide for residential refrigerators.

On our rig the only outlets wired are the one the fridge plugs into, obviously behind the fridge. That inverter will suck batteries to their knees in a short period of time. I tried mine once, just to prove it was working.... never used it again.

Thanks for the reply, our fridge is also gas. Copy your explanation on all the other parts. Our inverter runs the tv, it has 2 15 amp breakers feeding some outlets. I will need to map them i guess.

Is that 2000 watt inverter part of a solar installation? If so, it's probably supplying power to the outlets in the main entertainment center, the sides of the bed platform (for CPAP), and to an outlet that a residential style refrigerator would use. It's possible your gas absorption refrigerator is plugged into that outlet, but if so, it would suck down the batteries pretty fast running on electric operation rather than propane, while not on shore power.

I agree with Dane,
When we are dry camping we sometimes forget to toggle the fridge to propane and it shows up on my magnum remote at 45 amps. One of these days I'll move the 120 line for the frig to a non dry camp breaker.

Yes, it's part of a 300 watt solar system. Thanks for update, I will check it out when i get home.

Ok so I finally did my homework. Called Heartland and found out that our trailer originally had all electric fridge, so that inverter was for that. Order change came to switch fridge to dual fuel, inverter was left in rig. Mapped the breakers and found that the only thing being fed by the inverter is the Living room TV. So it looks like I will have some wireing to redo. Thanks for the help guys. O and thy wired the sofa on the stove circuit ???
