I'm thinking I'd like to add a DC - AC Inverter to supply 120v power to TV, MW, coffee pot, etc. when boondocking in the Rocky Mountains. I run a pair of 100 amp hour 12v batts, will probably add a third or just jump to 4 6v batts, I will add solar at the same time. Just need to know if anyone has installed an inverter and how to wire it around the current converter so as I feed 120v power into the outlets so I don't power the converter and feed 12v back to the batteries..... Maybe I need a switch for the converter and a separate one for the inverter and simply never have them both on at the same time?
