I've connected my Keystone Passport 195RB to shore power at parks, so this wasn't a problem before. I built a solar system on my property for some future expansion and connected by trailer to it temporarily. Now, I check been checking power draws metering on the solar system. My unit draws 1680 watts continuously! Needless to say, that puts a huge load on the solar battery system. The load goes away when the Rec/Con breaker is off.
All of the 120 outlets work EXCEPT THE TWO CLOSEST TO THE BREAKER BOARD. (I used these for the TV and personal BluRay player, and internet router, etc.) These two only operate the Rec/Con is on. The makes watching TV necessarily bad because I have to are affected by this one breaker pulling a ton o' juice. My work around now is to keep switching the breaker on and off throughout the day. (I could run Christmas Tree extension cords around the unit to run the TV, etc. Not too practical, ducking and tripping all the time.)
Does anyone know a work around? There are a couple of slots for extra breakers.
1. Can I change this converter/charger to a smart charger so it only operates when the batteries are low?
2. Can I rewire the two other switches to AC and bypass the Ren/Con breaker?
If anyone has dealt with this? I'd be glad to hear their solutions and suggestions.
