I'm have no doubt that members have been removed...And some threads have drifted off topic and into dangerous territory.

We are all adults. There are no dangerous topics for conversation, and The Shade Tree is, in fact, intended for "off topic" conversations.

Our ERA 170M in front of the Trona Pinnacles, in Kern Co., CA. (Inyo Co.?)

When I made my fluorescents into ‘FrankenFixtures’ I tried bright white - too bluish, and soft white - too yellow.  In the end I used alternating strips of each color and they two blended into a natural looking light.  Most importantly the spousal unit approved.

The hardest part of the project was soldering directly onto the SM5050 strips.  The press on connectors are total crap!  (They are not made in Scotland).

I initially had problems with the LEDs overheating and installed ‘Buck’ voltage regulators in the fixtures to deal with it.  In the semiconductor world 12v = exactly 12v.  In the RV world 12v = somewhere between 10.5 and 14.5.

I tried a dozen times to post pictures but it says it’s too large and I can’t get it sized so .. hmph

I resize my pic's with Microsoft paint. But there are other programs that will resize. The picture cannot exceed 350 KB.

But back to your problem...If your inverter is only a 1000 watts it would have to be limited to a few outlets.. Have you tested all the outlets?

I have found more RV parks in California than anywhere else with the 10 and under rule.

Calif. law favors renters and  deadbeats. It is very difficult, time consuming and expensive  to evict a tenant. I got out of the rental business a long time ago.
