Hi all, I've been watching the forum for a while but this is my first post.
I'm begining to plan out a system for my travel trailer which is a grand design imagine 2500rl with 30amp service. I'm considering the merits of a inverter/charger vs going with separate charger/inverter/transfer switch. One of the perceived benefits is that the inverter/chargers seem to be able to vary the charge amps to the battery based on what is available... I.e if running the AC or other high load appliances it reduces the charge current to the battery so as to stay within the 30amp total capacity (from shore power/generator) Is there a way to get this capability with separate components? Do most combined inverter chargers support this capability (I think the multiplus does). Finally, if the AC power leg is not through the inverter/charger (I could use a 2000watt inverter in this case) how can I ensure I am not exceeding 30amps ? Thanks for your thoughts,
Bob
