Could use some help with the electric. Here is what I have so far. Power supply will be a 50 amp inlet, 20
amp 110v inlet both being AC, and a battery 12 volt inlet from battery pack. So the plan is to have both AC inlets (50 and 20 amp power inlets) tie into a good quality surge protector. From there the 50amp will go into the breaker box with a transfer switch in it. The 20amp will lead into an outlet. The top outlet plug will be powered with the 20amp shore power and the bottom plug will be powered from the inverter. A wire with the extension cord mail end will come out of the breaker box. That way I will be able to choose between shore power and battery power for the 110v 20 amp inlet.
I plan on going with the following as a 12v power: shureflo water pump with a on off switch, over head inside lights and two Rule 240 bilge fan to help out with air flow when heating the camper and I will use the other fan for the bathroom exhaust. The one used for air circulation when heating will be tied into a thermostat and have a dimmer/ voltage controller so I will be able to adjust the fan speed. I also wanted the inside lights to be 12v LEDs. Less power usage. AC power will go to the airconditioner, the refrigerator and a few power outlets.
Suggestions are welcome with this. I will be good with a 2000watt 3000surge inverter. Anyone have experience with these? I'm looking for a pure sine good quality fare priced one. Also I guess I will need a converter for the dc stuff and charger for the batteries when I can afford the. I have been trying to research the stuff but I get a lot of this one is great and that one is crap. But I'm not sure which are the good ones. I looked at aims and magnum, both have mixed reviews. The solar stuff will have to wait a while. I just want to get it going for now. I only plan on using two 100 amp/hour batteries for now. Just to power the dc things and maybe the refrigerator. Advise is needed and appreciated. Thanks.
