Hello, new guy here who only boondocks.
I have a question where I can’t find the answer across the far reaches of the inter-web. It’s a simple concept to me, but perhaps there’s a reason I can’t find anybody doing it. So here goes…
One end of the shore power cord plugged into the outside of my slide-in camper (where it normally plugs in with 15 amp adapter) and the other end plugged into my 3000W inverter in my pickup.
Start the truck up (so the alternator is running) and let the camper think it’s plugged into a 15 amp wall outlet. While the truck idles for a couple hours, my camper battery bank can charge and maybe I’ll go ahead and flip the breakers on for a couple lights too. This is just my backup plan on days I can’t use solar. Any foreseeable hang ups?
Secondary question: Being a modified sine wave inverter, not pure, would any components in the 2005 camper be effected in a negative way?
Thanks in advance for input!
