Class A: The largest and most spacious RVs.Motorized RVs and motorhomes have an engine built-in. RVs are broken up into two main categories: motorized and towable. Below, you’ll find all the information you need, along with some RV tips to help you get the most out of a part-time and full-time RV lifestyle! What is the best type of RV?

There aren’t many more exciting things than going on your first camping trip in your shining new RV. New to RV Living?

Those high amperage 12 volt draws demand an adequate battery bank and large cabling to reduce wiring voltage losses.īTW, no female bias here. Actually, due to the inefficiencies I cited before the input current is actually more, but 10:1 is easy to figure. If you draw 10 amps of 120 volts AC power from your inverter, you will be drawing 100 amps of 12 volt DC power from your batteries. The other thing to remember on inverter systems is the 10 to 1 current ratio. The one time I forgot, the system didn't run too long before the batteries went down. I turn off my converter/charger breaker when I run my AC system on inverter power. It's all one closed system in that configuration. This is because both the inverter and the converter are not 100% efficient and waste energy, and you cannot put more energy into the battery (charging) than you take out of the same battery (discharging). The problem with using your inverter AC output to run your converter/charger is that you are just wasting energy from your battery - you are not effectively charging your battery as you take more energy out of the battery to run the inverter than the converter/charger puts back into the battery. The INVERTER does the opposite - it takes in current from the battery and outputs AC power like you get from the shore power cord. It also normally charges a battery so that you can use these devices (along with higher current devices like landing gear) when not plugged in. by converting incoming AC shore power into 12 volt DC power. It will run your lower current 12 volt DC devices like lights, etc. The converter (I prefer to call them converter/battery chargers) is a STANDARD piece of equipment on most every RV that plugs in to AC shore power. On running the converter from the inverter. From the brand model info, you should be able to find a picture of it on the Google images search. I think you need to call Heartland Service with your VIN number, and they should be able to pull up a build list on your unit, tell you what brand and model converter you have, and where it is.
