Hello, I have a few questions about the 110 v outlets in my pop up trailer:
1. They do not work unless I am plugged into an external source of 110 v from my 30 amp cord. Is this normal?
2. If they ARE supposed to work and draw from my house 12 v battery which works just fine (as does the 12 v lighting, etc.), then what might be the problem?
3. If they are NOT supposed to work unless plugged into an external source of 110 v can I install a small inverter to draw from my house battery to run small loads?
4. Finally, where is the best place to connect the inverter to the 12 v battery? Can I do it somewhere from the on-board converter-charger or do I have to go directly to the battery and run cables into the trailer?
Thanks ahead of time. I joined the RV Forum yesterday and have already had a wealth of valuable information given to me.
