AC Wiring 87FC 35

[freewill2008]

Guess I should have added that a 30 amp breaker replaces one of the now-unused
20 amp breakers in the main panel. The 30 amp feeds the inverter by #10 cable,
and then the inverter output feeds the sub-panel by another run of #10 cable.

This scheme requires an inverter with built-in transfer switch, which is the
best way to fly anyway.

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.

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.

boxes they used wiring the bus. Be sure to document the changes you make.

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.
