I’m trying to install a 1600w inverter in my 2015 carbon m-31, i watched a video on YouTube and this guy simply went from the batteries to the inverter then took an extension cord made it to have 2 male ends on it then plugged one end into the inverter and the other end into any outlet in the RV, and it looked to be working.... my question is does that create a “loop” with the converter that charges the batteries ? And if so how can this be avoided ? Could the breakers on the converter be flipped off like the main and the a/c and leave the rest on ? Trying to figure this out without putting some kind of switch that i have read about but dont really understand. Thanks !!
