Yeah, was wondering about boondocking. May have to stick with the propane for longer trips, or get a really large solar charger.

I had a solar maintainer on mine and I was surprised at how well it worked.

It is a Switching Inverter......meaning, it has an AC IN connection. When there is Shore Power, the load runs off of the Shore Power....not the Batteries. When there is No Shope Power, the Inverter pulls from the Batteries and provides Pure AC power to the load.

(pics removed)

It ran the fridge without any issues........
Battery cables....RED

The lower AC connector.....AC IN
The upper AC Connector.....AC OUT
pretty cool.. how did you find this one with the transfer switch built in.
