2017 Navion Purchase

[CoreyinWP]

Here is the actual link ,,,I believe this is the installed inverter

http://www.xantrex.com/documents/Pow..._PROseries.pdf

The one i previously posted was a different inverter but I believe the same applies

This from the owners manual Navion

Certain circuits, however, remain unchanged
for use by items which require 120-volt current,
such as the air conditioner(s), the refrigerator in
AC mode, the microwave oven, etc.

CoreyinWP, thanks for finding that reference. It is the first time I've seen the 15/20 amp 120 volt passthrough mentioned by the company that built the inverter. And I also found another reference when I read the original owners manual on the Xantrex site. It was in Chapter 3, which had been deleted from the Operator's manual that came with our Navion.

So now it is all making sense. There actually is a transfer switch built into the Xantrex, and from the description of how it works (also in Chapter 3) it's a nice one.

No need for an extra extension cord at all. Good luck tomorrow.

Thanks. Look forward do digging deeper. I would like to be able to use outlets at will through the coach.

Meanwhile I have suspension mods to do first.

Scotty,
You may want to look at the Lifeline batteries again. If you install the +12V post to the left, all of the original battery cables will reach. I did not modify the battery box. I removed the battery hold down rods because they crowded the sides of the batteries. I used an Ancra ratchet hold down strap to restrain the batteries. I put some wood blocks on top of the batteries to keep the straps from damaging the battery cables. After 3 years of service some of the plastic ducting around the cables was worn. I got some replacement plastic ducting from a local auto parts store. Here's a picture showing the install. I had not installed the hold down strap at the time.

Regards, Jerry

Jerry, I agree that the LifeLine batteries have lots of advantages - thats a lot of why I ordered them. I hated to send them back, and paid dearly for the privilidge.... Hope to try them again in the summer when I will be physically able to deal with some simple mods to fit them in place. In the meanwhile, I replaced the 4 year old OEMs with a slight upgrade for minimum expense and easy exchange.
