Hey Walt, so an inverter is designed to take DC power and convert it to AC which is what shore power has. If you have something that is taking shore power and converting it to DC for a battery that would be a converter.
If instead you are referring to your battery being what supplies your AC accessories power via the inverter then I get what you mean. In order for your accessories to be powered directly by the battery without the inverter you would need 12 volt accessories.

You definitely can use a manual transfer switch with the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center with AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger # PD4135K to switch between shore power and DC power through an inverter.
We actually have some auto transfer switches that include inverters as well so if you're also in the market for an inverter I recommend checking out the Progressive Dynamics Pure Sine Wave Inverter w/ Transfer Switch # PD94FR to make things a little easier on you. view full answer...
Yes, the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center # PD4045KA can be used with an inverter. The power loop that you're referring to all comes down to how you wire in the inverter to your RV's electrical system. With an inverter like the Progressive Dynamics Pure Sine Wave Inverter # PD64FR the converter wouldn't be getting power from the inverter while it's in use.
Since the # PD4045KA only has one hot bus bar you'll need to pick up a sub panel from your local hardware store. Everything... view full answer...
The 35 Amp Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center with AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger # PD4135K is used to distribute power from an AC power source to both AC and DC accessories. If you are needing to use DC power for AC accessories then you need an inverter like the basic 2000 Watt Inverter part # 34278156 or the Inverter/Charger/Transfer Switch 2000 Watt part # 34280055 instead.
The first (basic) inverter allows you to power AC products with DC power like from your battery... view full answer...
A transfer switch is installed to prevent power from being drawn from multiple sources (i.e. shore power, generator, inverter). The Go Power ATS # 34264403 you were looking at is for transferring back and forth from inverter and shore power. Transfer switches are wired so that one power source (typically shore power) will be dominate and when connected to it would automatically switch to it.
If you were using an inverter to power your RV and then connected your shore power cord to the... view full answer...
The Firman 3,300-Watt Portable RV Dual Fuel Inverter Generator - Propane or Gas - Electric Start # FIR54FR will allow both power supplies to be used simultaneously. I recommend using the Power Grip RV Power Maximizer - 50 Amp Female to 15 Amp Male and 30 Amp Male # CAM55025.
This is able to use a parallel kit like the Parallel Power Kit for etrailer Inverter Generators - 120 Volt - 50 Amp # 333-0007 which is compatible with Firman generators. view full answer...
In order to convert the AC power your mini fridge uses to the DC power your RV runs on, I recommend the Three AC Receptacle Power Inverter part # WC3720. The power inverter is capable of handling up to 1000 watts of continuous power which should be more than enough for your mini fridge. It comes with 2 3 foot long DC cables with ring terminals already attached. The inverter has an auto reset feature built into the device in addition to cooling fans, and a low battery alarm.

Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out!
Yes, the Progressive Dynamics 1000 Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter # PD34FR will shut off when you connect to shore power.
You should already have a separate transfer switch for your generator so that when you plug into shore power your RV gets shore power directly. view full answer...
You are correct that the Furrion RV Refrigerator # FCR14ACBQASS does require a Furrion Inverter to be used or the warranty will be voided.
At this time the only inverter Furrion offers is the Furrion Pure Sine Wave Inverter - 1,000 Watts - Deck Mount - 12V # FIVBDP10A. If the Furrion appliances in your 2021 Grand Design Transcend Xplor already run on DC power, they will not require the Inverter as it is for converting the DC power from your RV batteries to AC for certain appliances.

If your 12V batteries are wired in parallel for 12V output, the Go Power Pure Sine Wave Inverter # 34279948 that you were looking at should work great to power your RV fridge. This pure sine wave inverter provides 1,000 watts of continuous output power, more than enough for your fridge that draws 6.61 amps. Having both your batteries run in parallel will also extend its run time when powered.
I have attached a short video demonstration on this inverter and the instructions manual that... view full answer...
The Go Power # 34276119 is a controller that goes between solar panels and your RV battery to provide the correct voltage to charge them. This system stays connected to your RV batteries at all times, including when you are connected to shore power. When you are not connected to shore power you can connect an inverter to your batteries to provide 120 volts of AC power to operate a few things like a fan.
If you don't have roof panels I would suggest the Go Power # 34282610 portable 200-watt... view full answer...
That is a good question, but no type of special inverter is required in order for you to use the Go Power AGM RV Battery - Deep Cycle - Group 27 - 12V - 100 Amp Hour # 34276285.
This battery is absolutely compatible with a standard inverter so you won't have any issue using it whatsoever. view full answer...
The Furrion Chill Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Advent Air Setup - 13,500 Btu - White # FR82PV is run off of 115V, 60Hz or what most of us consider 110/120V or AC power.
A power inverter takes the DC electricity from the RV's battery (12V) and converts it to AC power (120V). That way all of your household appliances can run in your RV.
So the RV will need to be hooked to shore power, or have the generator and inverter running in order to power the AC. The AC unit does use 14.6 amps... view full answer...
With the Redarc Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter # RED55RR on your RV you will want to use deep cycle batteries preferably lithium which can handle being discharged and recharged constantly. The amount of batteries you use will depend greatly on what all you wish to be able to use off the inverter and the amount of time it will need to be used.
As an example the Go Power Lithium RV Battery # GP99QR will have a maximum of 1,200 watt hours of power to offer the inverter. So if the inverter... view full answer...
Hey Ed, thanks for reaching out!
Your 1000 Watt Go Power Inverter, like part # 34279948, will have enough power to run the Everchill RV Mini Fridge # 324-000111 just fine. view full answer...
I reached out to Progressive Dynamics to find out if you could have the shore power on the Normally Closed position for the Progressive Dynamics Transfer Switch # PD52, and this is what I was told via our tech contact:
"I think there is confusion here; the PD52 uses two normally open contactors not a single relay with normally closed contacts in the inactive position as with the PD51. Second, the RV transfer switches are designed as "Generator Priority" that means that whenever AC voltage... view full answer...
I do have an option for you, but the etrailer 3,200 watt inverter generators are no longer available. The A-iPower 3,800-Watt Portable Inverter Generators # 289-SUA2000i-2 are a great comparable option as well though.
The A-iPower 3,800-Watt Portable Inverter Generators # 289-SUA2000i-2 will be 3,800 watts and 3,000 running watts, opposed to the 3,200 watts and 2,900 running watts that the etrailer generators were. The The A-iPower 3,800-Watt Portable Inverter Generators # 289-SUA2000i-2... view full answer...
The Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center # PD4135K is going to allow you to power your DC appliances off of shore power but will not invert the power from DC to AC when not hooked up to shore power so you will need a separate inverter if you plan on running appliances off of just your battery (i.e. boondocking).
The size of the inverter you need will vary depending on the amount of wattage you need to power the appliances. This means you would need to add up the amount of wattage... view full answer...
Yes. As long as you have the appropriate amount of power reaching the inverter, a 2,000 watt inverter will be enough to run the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System # ACM135C.
The Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System # ACM135C requires 1,450 watts and it has a start capacitor that helps jumpstart the AC when a campsite or generator doesn't provide enough power. view full answer...
The advantage or pro, of having a converter/charger in one unit, such as the Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini Converter/Smart Charger, # PD4045KA is having it all in one package; you know that all subcomponents are matched to function with each other. The way the Go Power Inverter, # 34278156 that you linked to works is to be connected to your RV's AC battery bank providing 12 Volt DC output. That battery bank is charged from the AC input of the shore power connection, or solar, or generator.... view full answer...
