Have a Sunseeker 3210 Class C and would like to add a outlet in the back bedroom that is powered by the batteries. Currently the only outlet that gets DC power is the one near the TV upfront. The inverter is also located upfront under the passenger seat.
I know the battery has sufficient power to run my need (a CPAP unit) because I've been running off an extention cord to the TV outlet.
How do I go about this mod? Should I run a second power source off the inventer to the back or run some new cables from the batteries to a new inverter in back? Any suggestions on how to run the wires or cables?
Any suggestions on how to approach this project will be helpful.
In the process of getting material together to do the same thing. I plan to use a 15 amp fuse holder connect to the battery #14 stranded wire and use a marine grade 12 power plug. I will run wire down the frame inside the under under carriage to the back of my trailer where bed room is.
Using a light circuit sounds a lot easier. So just find power (light or other) at the fuse box and tap off of that to a small inverter then to the outlet? Do I have the concept correct?
Your power distribution panel may have unused 12 volt DC spaces. It would be a cleaner arrangement to connect there and add a fuse in the panel if you can get from there to where you want to put the DC outlet. On our Sunseeker 3100 the panel is below the bed. Maybe you could put the outlet beside the panel.
Be sure to unplug the shore line and disconnect ALL batteries so the panel is not hot. The panel has 120 volt AC and 12 volt DC from multiple sources.
