Inverter question

[mack1roc]

I have a 2015 georgetown 351. I have the residential fridge option so I have the dedicated 2000watt inverter(15 upgrade). I have herd somewhere here on the forums that the inverter is also linked to a outlet. Any body have any input. Looking just for answers just pertaining to the georgetown

Only outlet I'm aware of is one behind fridge and the outlet on side of inverter in compartment. 2000 watts is nice upgrade since fridge only uses bout half that. You can power some other items like main TV. My 14 has 1000watts.

Ya that's the goal. Get an extension cord to the bunk for the kids. So I found out the fridge plugs in right below the oven behind the furnace screen. Of course it's a single plug and not a standard double. I could add a splitter but then would have to drill a hole through the screen to fit the cord and don't want to do that. Now coming off the inverter plug it goes to a converter of sorts (. I believe cause it also chargers the batteries ) and has 2 yellow hot wires coming off one goes right to where the plugs at but the other looks like it goes up. Well I disconnected shore power and only had the inverter on and read out all my plugs. And for the life of me the only one hot is the one that the fridge is plugged into.

I have done this on my 2015 335. The inverter has a duplex outlet and only one is used for the frig. You can plug an extension cord into the second and use it to power things. Not the best, but it works. Watch out though, I am pretty sure that the inverter on a residential frig system is a Xantrex ProWatt 1000...and the frig uses most of that when starting up or defrosting.)

Ya I saw this and was thinking of doing that but I Didnt want to have to bring in the extension cord through the furnace vent under the stove. However the 15's and newer come with a 2000 watt

Well, that is a prevalent rumor. However, with only one transfer switch and the fridge on its own breaker, I really don't know what they would do with the extra 1000 watts. I have a 2105 335DS, next time I am in there I will look at my Xantrex, but I am pretty sure that it is only a 1000 watt unit. Now if there was a multi breaker sub panel...maybe. But I haven't seen one on my 335.

I only used an extension cord at a Cracker Barrel for my CPAP machine. That is why I am putting in another 1000 Watt inverter in the power bay and connecting it to the non GFI breaker.

Ya I was told that the 15's had that upgrade. I ordered my unit in June and picked it up in August and it defiantly has the 2000 ( I looked when I was looking for how to access it to route the cord. )

Thanks Mack

I didn't look closely but my coach is a 2015 and was made about the same time so I guess it has a 2000 watt unit as well. You could buy another Xantrex transfer switch and wire it to the house non GFI circuit. Have to snake is through to the bedroom over the power bay, but it would work nicely.

Ya thanks dunno if the juice will be worth the squeeze that route ha ha as I only want the power to power the bunk TVs while traveling for the kids
