In a continuing effort to make ourselves self sufficient while we go camping, I decided to invest in a professional inverter for our RV a few weeks back. I was looking for something affordable, yet something that I could wire into my RV permanently so that our 110V outlets would be powered whether our site had power or not. As well, with an investment in some good batteries last year, I was ready to invert! Enter stage right, Xantrex Freedom HF inverter.
The Xantrex Freedom HF 1800W will replace your converter in your unit (the device that detects 110V and converts it to 12V to power most everything in your trailer, as well as charge your main batteries). Like your converter, it detects 110V (aka, shore power), and once powered, will charge your batteries at 40Amps, as well as provide pass through power to the 110V panel on the output of the inverter. When 110V isn't present, the inverter kicks in, and powers the 110V panel via your batteries.
The device is relatively compact for what it does (I got the 1800W unit, pictured below). Inputs are 12V pos / neg (battery), 110V in (shore power), and 110V out (inverted devices). The panel / display is also removable so you can mount it where your inverter isn't. Comes with a 20' cord. (see below, I mounted mine near the existing control panel)
I ordered on a couple weeks ago, it came in last week, so I decided to make it a weekend project and install it into my RV this weekend . Took about a full day including numerous trips to the electrical store. I chose to run just run my 110V plugs off the inverter, and not my microwave. Air conditioning definitely will not run off this unit. Need many batteries, and a large inverter to get anywhere with A/C. The inverter needs to be within 5 feet of your battery, so I chose to install it under our bed in the front of the RV, and run 110 back and forth from the inverter to the main power panel. The panel in the picture is a sub panel that is just for the inverters 110V out. Bascially the power receptacles now run through this panel, connected to the inverters output. Confused yet? If you are looking to do this to your RV one day, buy me a coffee, we'll chat. Pretty straightforward once you understand how your R/V's 12V / 110V system works.
Install went great for the most part, and now we'll be able to camp in the most remote spots, complete with phone chargers, computers, TV....wait...that's not camping? For the Rieps, it's all about balance. ;-)

There have were times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in big initial investment.
Now, I feel good, I started to get real income.
It's all about how to select a correct companion who uses your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the profit with me.
You can ask, if there are such firms? I have to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
