One of my upcoming projects on out 1988 FC will be to replace the
existing inverter and "dumb" battery charger with the 458, 2000 Xantrex
inverter charger. I do not plan on running the A/C with the inverter.
But I thought it would be nice to operate the Micro and once in a while
the TV's. In my unit the existing charger and inverter are in adjacent
comaprtments, streetside. The inverter is in the large compartrment
just forward of the dinette and the charger is in the one right under
the dinette. The charger also has a big fan in the compartment for
cooling. I have not yet determined which circuits are powered by the
inverter but I only see one 110volt romex coming out of the inverter. I
have the basic remote for the Xantrex and will probably be able to
utilize the existing wiring for the remote. I do not have a complete
wiring diagram and would appreciate any tips on this install. If I just
connect the existing wiring to the inverter/charger what will be the
results? Any suggestions appreciated. As always this forum is a wealth
of knowledge.
