Do I need an inverter

[alyra007]

If I am running strictly DC appliances, do I need an inverter? I don’t have a shore power hookup or any hookup to my alternator.

If that’s ok, my batteries are run in parallel on the diagonal. Is it ok to have 3 lugs coming off my battery terminal (One to charge controller, one for connecting my batteries and on for my fuse block)

No. It would serve no purpose.

Thank you!!

Unless of course you do want to run AC appliances? TV, laptop, AC lights, microwave ect. Ect.

Nope. USB charge laptop. Minimal appliances all DC. I don’t live in my van. It’s a weekend warrior kind of thing but thanks for you thoughts! I own an inverter/ charger but haven’t gotten to that point .
