I'm looking into installing a Xantrex Freedom 458 inverter/charger in my 1995 Jayco 2950 Class C motorhome. The coach is outfitted from the factory with a MagneTek converter/charger. I've done a lot of research, and I'm comfortable with my choice of inverter, my available battery power, what I can and cannot use on the inverter, etc. However, I'm still unclear (even after looking at the user's manual downloads from the Xantrex site and reading dozens of posts on various websites and BBS's) on how the inverter will intergrate with the converter. Obviously, the inverter converts 12 VDC battery power to 120 VAC power. And I would plan to use the more sophisticated charger on the Xantrex inverter. However, unless I'm missing something, it would seem that I still need the converter for the 12 VDC water pump, lights, etc. I've not seen any sort of wiring diagram that reflects keeping the converter in the system.
If someone could point me to something that addresses this specific issue (I've reviewed about 100 various websites on the general topic), or if someone has the expertise to explain this to me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
