What converter charger comes in Force HD?

As the title states... Just wondering...

I assume the inverter is just a separate entity?

Also maybe a dumb question, but if one opts for all gas appliances in the force HD what does the inverter ( 1800 watts?) actually power?

Mine is a Progressive Dynamics Power Converter System. My inverter powers the residential fridge, TV satellite outlet, bedroom plug and a 120 outlet in one of the passenger side bays.

OK . One options in the Gas/electric reefer ( I want to boon dock) So it would just be the TV outlet, 1 bedroom plug, and one in a storage bay? All on 1800 watt inverter?

That sounds good..

Do you know the model progressive unit? Does it have the charge wizard?

My concern is how many of these work.. I would prefer with those batts they give you , to have an IOTA charger that I can retro fit..

These charge at 14.7 bulk, 14.2 absorb, and 13.6 float.. This is ideal IMO.. The generator will charge the batts faster, so less runtime..

Not sure with the two solar panels optioned in, and the pwm controller what amps will actually be.. Best off to upgrade that controller to an MPPT, and wire the panels in series..

So this is why I am curious of actual PD model...( I hope they dont put the WFCO's in the 2018's.. They are awful...)

Interesting...

Do you know how the inverter is wired in relation to the breakers for them?

I would assume all outlets on the inverter are separate from the PD panel in that, when plugged in, these outlets stay powered from said inverter?..

I ask because I wonder if I can take more outlets and put them on the inverter in an easy to do way...

I am interested as well, how easy it is to add another outlet to the inverter so it can be used while on battery.
