Boon-docking - inverter question
I am installing a 1500w inverter this weekend in prep for the "Q". The reason I'd like the inverter is for TV late night, power the cpap and coffee maker in the morning.
My plan is to run an extension cord from the inverter to the 50a input on the trailer. As I understand it, the converter must be off while running the inverter, so I plan to put a 20a switch to turn it off when running off the inverter (rather than flipping the breaker).
This leaves the trailer with only 110v circuits hot. The only lights would be 110v fixtures.
The other option is to run a separate dedicated circuit from the inverter to the entertainment center. I can run the cpap on a 12v plug if I went this way.
I have been conflicted about which way to go. Now that the rig is apart, I have to make up my mind. I'd appreciate your thoughts and suggestions
