12 V will it run my electric outlets
I have a new 2514G and now that the new pup comes with a 12V battery I know it will power my lights, sound system, heater, etc....but will it power up my GFCI Outlets? I think not, but not sure.

If you want/need 110 ac you will need a 30 or 50 amp power outlet or a generator.
What is it you want/wish to power?

No ur outlets run on 110. The AC won't work either.

Thanks for the input. I thought it would not bur wanted to check. No specific need for outlets. Was just wondering for general use. I see myself eventually getting a simple quiet generator for dry camping. Thanks again.

Here is a good article by Mark Polk that explains the different electrical systems in layman terms, that you can read at your leisure.

What I did on my 24HFS is I used the light circuits (pre-switch) and installed a couple 12v plugs in areas where I would want A/C power. Then I just use small inverters. I have one in my A/V cabinet, and one in the bedroom (bedroom TV). The lights are all LED and as far as I could tell, and there was nothing else on those 15 amp circuits.. so it was safe to add the 12v outlets. I also tested the circuits with everything powered up and drawing as much power as possible to check my amperage draw and I didn't even go above 10 amps. I can't promise that your trailer would be the same, but that was my quick and 'dirty' solution.

Another example of a poor PDI by the dealer!
This is a basic thing that every PDI should explain to new owners.

Install an inverter, in the process of doing that now. its mounted and attached to that batteries. Just have to run the wire. When done we will be able to run everything but the microwave and the AC without a shore line or having to run the generator.

We dry camp a couple times a year.
We do like to watch a little TV on occasion so I use a little cigarette socket
inverter to power the TV.
My current winegard antenna outlet came with the socket so it's easy for me.
Some have the 12v socket and some don't but adding one isn't that hard.
In a previous trailer I removed the DVD/radio and tapped into the 12v wire
and added a socket nearby. We used it 5 years and never blew a fuse.
Get a stove top percolator for coffee and we actually have an old school
gas stove top toaster. It folds flat and can still be found in the camping isles of some sporting goods stores.
AC is over rated!! Our dry camping is usually done in the Fall when it's cool
so we do fine camping off the grid!
Happy Trails!
