Hello all! I bought a 1985 Viking pop-up for $500.  It's fixer-upper but after some time energy and $$ it's starting to come together. The issue:  When the camper is up all the way, the bottom portion of the canvas is supposed to snap to the frame in several spots on the front and back. ...

Lou - To clarify, the battery is not connected to the converter.  It's an old pop-up and has several wiring issues so I'm basically starting over with it.  The battery is connected to the inverter and solar charge controller.  The loop problem mentioned is a non-issue.  The converter has a power...

Lou, Exactly!  So the question is.....can I -safely- plug the converter into the inverter and run it? Will there be any long term issues?

Gary, Dang! I thought for sure it was a converter.  The device that is mounted in the Popup that I referred to as a "Converter" is a [ [6AMP] Series 6400 Model 6406 Electrical Center Power Converter].  There is a three-way rocker switch labeled CONV-OFF-BATTERY.  There is also a 110 10 AMP...

Hi Joel. The camper has only one battery and it will be charged to and charged by the solar system.  The converter does not connect to the battery.  Instead, it will be plugged into one of the Inverter outlets while I dry camp. I've never plugged a converter into an inverter but thought if...

Hi everyone.  Thanks for all the responses!.  The battery will be charged exclusively by solar while I'm boondocking as mentioned in the OP. It (battery) is only going to be physically connected to the Inverter, not the converter.  Hope that sheds some light on the subject.  For those of you...

- Lou There is a single battery that will run everything and be directly connected to the Inverter.  My thought was to plug the converter directly into the Inverter for boon-docking.  This will power everything in the popup (outlets and 12v items).  When the unlikely option for shore power is...

Thanks for the info Gary. The battery and inverter will provide power for everything.  Power loss isn't really an issue as it's a small popup trailer and I won't be running any major appliances.  As of now, the camper only has 2 - 110 outlets.  I will have a laptop on occasion, cell phone and a...

Just signed up to the forum.  I bought an '85' Viking popup camper over the summer.  It's coming along slowly but smooth so far.  Gonna put a solar system in, full water pump, shower, cassett toilet and new sink.

Hello all.  New to the forum.  There is a ton of info here - Im lovin it!! One thing I did not find is the answer to the following question: Can I plug a pop-up camper Power Converter (standard factory) into a Pure Sinewave Power Inverter (1500W/3000W Peak)?  Background:  I will have a...
