Why not hard wire a 30 amp rv plug at the inverter, then run the rv cord up through a closable acess hole? Then everything will be energized and only limited by battery storage and wattage of the inverter, and solar?
@@lapearl521 1. you have splice in a battery cable 2. you are using an extension cord to backfeed your electrical system, that is so bad. 3 when you are back feeding your electrical system that power is also going into your breaker panel is being passed to your power cord, so you have a live hot 30amp male plug on the outside of your trailer. 4 NO fuses on anything. I am not picking on your or your work I don't want to see you burn up or your family or your trailer. Please spend some money and do the install the correct way!!!
@@shanonqual759 Ok so, I think you should rewatch the video... 😁 We were clear about dangers if certain measures weren't taken. We are also clear that this was temporary, mentioned future plans and this video was quite a long time ago - feel free to view more recent vids of ours to be up-to-date on final projects. We greatly appreciate the concern, of course! 1) It's not a splice. It's a cable connection that has been bolted and crimped properly, taped for insurance. 2/3) Joe explained that this would only backfeed if we had the other breakers on or if we were hooked up to shore power made super clear that everything was off and disconnected. 4) There are fuses involved, of course. One in the front from the factory and the inverter has one as well. All other fuses were in the breaker box but all the breakers were off. Thanks for the attempt to watch one of our videos. They aren't professional looking, I know, but we do actually know what we're doing. 3 years and haven't burned anything in this death box yet, haha. Not even dinner.
Do not follow this install video, nothing he is doing is safe and has many code violations. What will happen if you dont turn off the breakers and back feed into the rv parks electrical grid? minumally you destroy your inverter, worst case you set your rv on fire. If you don't know how to properly do technical projects please do not create videos. I hope you are held responsible if someone hurts themselves or causes property damage to others.
you know thos campers will burn just as quick as a trailer home. Looks very sketchy, keep a few fire extinguishers on hand and dial 91 on you phone so you ahead of the disaster. Not hateing but really trying to help.you or anyone watching this. DANGER!!

That is doable and I get why you would want that. At the time, with our limitations, that was not how we did it.
This install is a fire waiting to happen, please make sure your smoke detectors are working!
Would you kindly explain why you consider it unsafe?

@@lapearl521 I own a company that installs solar on RVs for the last 20 years I would not hire ya. Safe travels and the best of luck.
@@shanonqual759 Oh darn, haha. Cheers!
Uhh . . . a suicide cord on a RV. That’s a new level of bold.
I installed my inverter. When I use the inverter I have a outlet that makes a buzzing noise are you having the same issue? Or is this normal?
We don't have any outlets that make buzzing noises, no.
my advice is to uninstall it and install it using the proper transfer switches.....if it is buzzing electricity is going somewhere it shouldnt
Information on the fans please
What information would you like?
Oh heck no.
It was a temp use install and it worked well for what we needed. We stayed safe. It was years ago. Feel free to do yours differently, of course.
Nice, thanks for sharing. Well done!

I agree. If one doesn't know how to turn off breakers one should not do this.

Your advice is a couple years late. 😉
It was a temp use install and it was perfectly safe.
Do NOT do this people!
