Solar for all outlets

Hi. This is my first post. We have a 2019 3810MS and we have installed solar on it. Works great but only for a few plugs. How do we get it wired to support all plugs in the trailer? Hope this makes sense and appreciate any help.

I would suspect that you will need to know the size of your inverter. Once you know the size you will see what circuits it would have the ability to power. There are a lot of inverters out there and some are a lot more expensive and capable than others. Some are really for one or two dedicated circuits like the house style refrigerators. Others could be set up for a TV and Satellite etc. Unless you have a major amount of solar and a matching battery bank it really isn’t great except for light charge on the batteries when boondocking.
Bottom line is it really isn’t probably big enough to power all the circuits and would be tripping offline. Solar is really nice for Helping maintain battery level when not plugged in, it just has limitations.
I hope this helps.
