Installing Renogy 2000 watt inverter
Hello All,
Long time lurker, first time poster. I can say enough about helpful and insightful this site has been. Currently own a 2021 Micro Minnie 2306. It has factory 100w go power solar. I upgraded the factory battrty to 2 six volt 230ah batteries amd installed a battery monitor to keep track of power when off grid last season. Everything went great last season and making many memories with my wife and three boys.
I just purchased a Renogy 2000w Inverter and am in the planning phase of the install. I would like to mount the Inverter in the pass through and run 110 (under trailer and up through floor ) into the cabinet below the tv. Was thinking of installing outlet in cabinet and pulling power from there when off grid. I only need to run a few random appliances so have no interest in doing a "whole trailer" set up. Just need the one plug.
If your still with me, I appreciate it and apologize for the long winded post. On to my questions;
As far as wiring, run positive and negative from inverter to battery posts, run 110 from inverter underneath trailer and back up into cabinet to new outlet.
Do I need to also ground the inverter to chassis?
Can I run household 10/3 wiring outside trailer to outlet?
The wires that came with it are double strand of 4awg wires. I would like to extend them by roughly 1 foot to make it to pass through. I have enough
4awg laying around to make extension, but don't have enough to make all new lengths of wire. I'd rather not spend money on new longer wires if I already have some laying around. I'm cheap. Any issues with extending wires with proper connections?
Thank you in advance.
(More questions to follow I'm sure)
