Which Outlets Does the 2016 Vista LX 30T Inverter Power?

[Jeeper-WO]

I have a 2016 Vista LX 30T. I have the small 1000 inverter. Which plugs does the inverter feed? I know it cannot feed all and more than likely does not feed the bathroom or kitchen. I have 600W of solar panels on the roof so there should be plenty for minor use and the TV? I am not able to get to it right now so hoping you can tell which ones to check when I am able to visit it...Thank You in advance

I'd suggest you get one of those cheap outlet testers (the ones with 3 leds) and while the inverter is running test the outlets. Put a small sicky colored dot at each outlet that's supplied by the inverter. Easier than trying to locate an accurate schematic. Amazon has one for $10 :

Klein Tools RT110 Outlet Tester, AC Electrical Receptacle Tester for North American Outlets​

Good Luck,
SM

Okay, this is an easy one with the correct info as there are several things that change the options.
Big first is what the 7th digit of the RV serial number might be as that tells us if you have an early or late year build! That info is on a label near the driver's left side if not known!
If you have the early year build with a 1, this should get you the correct info:

This would be if you have early model with 30 amp service and then , depending on what options wer ordered on your specific RV, there may be as many as 8 oputlets powered through the invierter. Three options were possible, 21R, 14W or 19B, were shown as choices!
However, if you have thatdigit as 2, it gets more difficult as that one came in both 30 and 50 amp models for the later year build.
Go to this diagram and choose which 30 or 50 and locate the correct drawing for your RV as well as what options were ordered for it!

Reading it much like a road map, you can look at your load center to find if you are 30 or 50 to go to the correct sheet. Then locate the inverter which is somewhat lower right side of the drawing to follow the trail and decide which options you have by what you find if the paperwork listing those are not onboard!
It's one of the little secrets often not mentioned when we are shopping for cars or RV! A lot of the value can change, depending on if your dealer buys high end of "value priced" ! In this year and model there can be at least 6 differences in what we get in the electrical parts alone when we buy the "exact same RV"!!!
See if that gets you what you need?
Good luck on the search!

MoMech, if you mean the Vin the first 7 are V 1F65F5DY It is 30A. Why I did not look for 50A is still a mystery to me since my DP for 20 years was 50A, I think it is an early model but really do not know..

The serial number assigned by Winnebago is the part we need to know the 7th digit on as they are the one who assigned it while the Vin is a government item.
This is a link to the owners manual if not on hand and it can give you lots of stuff that you may need later when you get into parts for the RV. Things like truck parts may be a different year than the house built on top? Sometimes two different years! Also important to know who and when the chassis was built.

This is where I was trying to get past for the info:

But I'm with you on being a bit short on what I need as I was not able to do thie snips for the other models earlier and now it works! So maybe you can just go straight to compare these drawings to what you find and then you don't have to have the right 7th digit info at this point??
Sometimes the slow way still works!!
My computer only works when IT feels like moving!
Later build with 7th difit of 2 but 30 amp should have this and depends on which options were ordered for some points!

Later but with 50 amp!

Sometimes it seems there are more hoops to jump through?

Wish you luck with the new learning experience. Seems it never ends!

Typically with 1000w inverters Winnebago allots inverted power to TV and entertainment cabinets, one in the bathroom and one or two in the bedroom. The kitchen is not included because many/all kitchen appliances are power hungry and will overload such a modest inverter.

I had the same inverter. Mine only powered the TVs, one outlet above the couch in the living area and both outlets on the bed end tables. I swapped it out for a pure sine, the factory one was a modified sine wave and wouldn't run an electric blanket.

There is often a big lack of understanding how and why we may need to get to the correct info on each RV we mght end up with. In this case we need to know when and what Winnebago added and what options. But if we need to change the brakes or some part that comes from the chassis builder, we need to get that straight before we go for parts. If the chassis is a year older than the RV portion, we may get the wrong part and do something really weird like put in the wrong spark plugs! Or get brake bands and tear the rig down only to find we have the wrong parts to put it back together! UGH!
So it can be important to know what the VIN number and serial numbers do for us. Vin comes with the chassis, while serial number is the number that tells Winnebago about their parts that were added to the chassis!
Then when we get down to options, there are two ways we can go. One is nice if the previous owners have passed on the folder with the OEM options listed. But dealers tend to get rid of anything that helps us repair our RV. I think that is just part of dealership businesss. Have you ever taken time to read the businees mags for dealers? There are lots of "hints" in some of those mags that tell dealers how to increase profits! Some are very close to what the rest of us would call scams! But it does increace dealer profits!
Just think how much more a dealer or repair makes if we have to take it in to let them reset the GFCI that we could not find without the electrical drawings?
Bottom line is that the more we know, the less profit (cash?) we give them!
