Engaging the inverter?

New guy still trying to figure this 2015 dynaquest 320xl out.
I can run the generator and everything works. I can use shore power and get everything to work .
But I can’t figure out how do I get the inverter to work if I’m just sitting not connected to shore power or how to get it to work when driving ?
Do most people just run their generator when traveling between spots ?

Is there an on off switch for the inverter?

Not sure what your control box looks like (we have an 18) but check to make sure your inverter is "enabled"

I have the Xantrex Xanbus system control panel. Is that where I go in ?

Yes, that one is a little different than ours, but push enter until you see inverter highlighted, then make sure it is "enabled" if so it should automatically come on when not connected to shore power or running genny

Ok great, went out and checked it and it was set at disabled.
This rig is quite the step up from my Thor Quantum.
I bought this from a 97 year old guy that had his 73 year old wife take him on one trip with it over a year ago. Needless to say he couldn’t remember how most of the systems operated.

This might help.....(our troubleshooting guide attached)

the Xantrex is a SUPER versatile inverter that lets you do a million things. Unfortunately...we really only want 2-3 things and it makes finding those 2-3 things harder.

Well dang I'm impressed the 73 and 93yr olds could even use one of these. Yes they are complicated!!

Glad you got it enabled and Brian is right, they do so much!

And I would like to memorialize this occasion with keywords....because we changed to the Magnum Inverter, 99% because it was just simpler to use. I don't think it has all the same advanced functions...but I don't know that anyone used them. <crosses fingers>

So when someone down the road claims that I changed to save money and the Xantrex was better...I would like to be able to find this again.
