I changed out my monochrome to a color camera from my winnie. Anybody need a monochrome bu camera? $20 + ship

figured i'd show my finished project after buying a 32" samsung tv that works great with the step inverter that winnebago installed in this 2008 rig. i made a new frame & stained it, so it's not a bad match. i attached the new frame with velcro & it's very solid (we've been on a few trips with...

Fixed the problem! Bought a Samsung & took the Hisence back. Samsung plays nice with the square wave inverter 👍

@ennored .. Yes, i do have the T option as i had indicated a few posts before your own. Moving forward if i change to a PSW w/o the switch I'm hoping there's a wiring block near the inverter so i can remove the shore power wiring that I'm sure must be connected to the inverter. That would leave...

Hi Isaac Tell me about it... I'm having a heck of a time seeing smaller inverters with the T switch at the dimensions i need. If you hear of something small I'd appreciate it if you let me know. Do you think I could use a larger capacity inverter even if it will only power the TV?

From the installed inverter manual: "When the external 120 VAC is supplied, the internal transfer switch is automatically activated, the ext. Power LED will light and the inverter will turn off. The inverter can not be turned on when the transfer switch is activated" The manual says that this...

This new TV works fine at home on a regular outlet & in the RV if powered by shore power or generator as stated in my text above. 2 older TVs that i tried worked fine with the inverter. Only this new TV does not. What is that telling me? Most likely that this new TV doesn't play nice with...

Thanks Isaac. If you look at the picture in my original post it shows the green led "external power". When I'm plugged into shore power the inverter is turned "off" & the "external power" led is on. Does that mean it has an integrated transfer switch?

Not a fan of the Bestek as far as it's dimensions & needed mods to the existing opening. But here's the thing I'm not seeing on those. There's no bypass for when connected to shore power that I can see or maybe I'm just not seeing it.

LxWxH, inches = 13x6.25x3.25

Yeah, so after more research (including asking my friend who's an electrical engineer) based on what y'all were saying, i think it's an incomparability issue between the stepped square wave inverter & the new technology tv that I've just installed. A few of you had come to that conclusion...

Thanks for that explaination gary. Next question...could you explain the difference between the "output breaker" & the gfci that is also on the inverter? Last year my wife plugged in a vacuum cleaner into the 300w outlet and tripped the gfci on the inverter & all i had to do was reset that gfci...

I haven't looked at the inverter status while the tv was powering off. But the green light is on after the tv powers off. I'm thinking that even of it's MSW & I don't have a MSW meter wouldn't i expect to see different voltages at different measurement times & not the same 164.5vac at each...

So the TV outlet is powered by either shore power (gen) or from the Dimensions 300w inverter. Shore /generator runs the TV. When I turn on the inverter (no shore/gen power) the TV comes on & shuts off after a few seconds. I was thinking power surge & TV shuts down to protect it's electronics...

Just wondering if anybody has done any upgrades to this rig?
