    OAE (or Ampinvt) 24vDC Low Frequency inverters.

    I'm putting together my first system in a motorhome, and I too have looked at several similar all in one models. In addition to what you say about them, they all seem to draw a good amount of power at idle. I've been back and forth on what to get, but I think I'm now pretty well set on getting...

    Budget MPPT Recommendations?

    After looking over many solar charge controllers, these are my final contenders thus far. Which ones should be avoided? (whether listed here or not) Does anyone here use any of these? -GCSOAR 60A, GCIT6024(10Li) +WIFI Cloud Box - $170 decent features, can be paralleled, unknown brand seems kind...

    My First Solar System - Any Help Appreciated :)

    Got it, as shown in the diagram. Got it, as shown in the diagram. Agreed, but it's what came with the rv, so it's just there, lol. The thing is, it, and more importantly the cabling, is on the other side of the rv from where I am setting up this solar battery bank, so that's a whole other...

    My First Solar System - Any Help Appreciated :)

    I think this logic of 2 inverters works if you will turn off inverters not in use. Better inverters normally have less idle draw per wattage. That's what I was thinking, but like I said, the Ampinvt inverter charger states it only draws less than 1 amp at idle, which is very low and similar to...

    My First Solar System - Any Help Appreciated :)

    I suppose that's what I could use the 24V to 12V converter for? If so, I may need some help figuring out exactly where to splice into the rv system, hopefully someone familiar with the 2000 era Fleetwood Bounder comes along. That would be nice too, but that might be something I add to it later...

    My First Solar System - Any Help Appreciated :)

    I'm trying for a 24V system with a 3kWh inverter, into a 2000 Fleetwood Bounder 32' motorhome with 30A shore power. I'll want it to switch between solar and shore power, and maybe the engine too but that's not a high priority since the vehicle will most likely be sitting most of the time. I have...
