SAR Posted April 23 Posted April 23 Not sure if the RED disconnect switch for the inverter has been on previous trailers or this new for 2024? It's located next to inverter. When would I need to turn this Off? I was told to just turn OFF batteries when storing trailer (3-4 weeks) between trips. Storage location has no power or sun. thanks 2024 E2 | Hull # 1527 |Truma | Lithionics (390Ah) |Compost |2024 Tundra| Airstream | Casita | Escape
Moderators topgun2 Posted April 23 Moderators Posted April 23 You sure that is not the solar cut off switch? Bill 1 2023 Ford F150 Lariat 3.5EB FX4 Max Towing, Max Payload, 2016 Oliver Elite II - Hull #117 "Twist" Near Asheville, NC

Moderator+ ScubaRx Posted April 23 Moderator+ Posted April 23 Based on the age of your trailer I suspect that you actually have an inverter/charger (I/C) rather than just an inverter. If so, that switch kills the power going back and forth between the batteries and the I/C. In one direction the current is supplying battery power to the I/C to be changed into 120VAC for the coach. In the other direction the current is supplying 12VDC to charge the batteries. You would want to turn this switch off while doing any maintenance such as unbolting cables or changing fuses. Also if you want to stop the batteries from being charged, you would turn this switch off. 3 Steve, Tali and our dog Rocky plus our beloved dogs Storm, Lucy, Maggie and Reacher (all waiting at the Rainbow Bridge) 2008 Legacy Elite I - Outlaw Oliver, Hull #026 | 2014 Legacy Elite II - Outlaw Oliver, Hull #050 | 2022 Silverado High Country 3500HD SRW Diesel 4x4
rich.dev Posted April 23 Posted April 23 Yes looks like they changed the Inverter disconnect switch from an Optifuse breaker to the same cut off switch you have for the solar panels above the steet side bed.
