AC Wiring 87FC 35

[freewill2008]

Hi Robert and Dianne.

This is just one guy's opinion, but I think a 2K inverter is better installed by
adding a small two breaker sub panel after the main AC panel. Then put 2 20 amp
breakers in the sub panel and pick 2 useful circuits in the main panel and move
them to the sub panel breakers. For example, use the galley and front salon
circuits or whatever works best the way you use the coach.

If you wire the inverter into the whole coach, every time you turn the inverter
on you must run around turning everything off that shouldn't get powered by the
inverter - like the battery charger (duh! , the water heater, and whatever
else you have that you don't want running on battery power. Also, it takes very
little to overload the inverter and require a reset when the whole coach is
wired in.

In addition, I had to do just a bit of re-wiring to get the right stuff on the
inverter circuits. Fortunately BB makes this fairly easy with all the junction
boxes they used wiring the bus. Be sure to document the changes you make.

FWIW, your mileage may vary.

I need to follow from both gen and 30&50amp line in to to 50 amp breaker then to
selector switch and finally to distribution circuit breaker box. I am thinking
of adding a Magnum Energy MS series 2000 watt pure sine wave unit and need to
review coach wiring. Any thoughts would also be appreciated.
