Big Boy Purchase Weekend Warrior LE3505

He clearly mentioned using a small Inverter for those 110v needs, which is supported by the question of "What's going on with your batteries?".

No one NEEDS a Xantrex Inverter... but they are available if you feel you do.

We have a le3505 as well. Best thing we did was throw on some home solar panels and a good magnum 3k watt inverter. I’m still using 2 cheap 12v die hard lead acid batteries. (Yes undersized but get 5 or 6 years out of them). Was out for 7 days for Thanksgiving and never had to run generator once. We can use coffee maker, microwave, basically anything except AC.

It doesn't have an invertor, so no way to run 110v of the batteries. My son's GFs trailer is the same way.

Exactly so it's either add an inverter, or have to run the generator any time to use the wall outlets. I just want to be able to watch tv or plug things in without running the generator haha.

An easy fix if you dont want to get into transfer switches and all that stuff is to

Get a nice Inverter - Wire it up near the battery - get some thick extension cords - run them up to new outlets next to you TVs and cut the plug and wire it to another wall outlet next to the one that is there (Label it Inverted Power)

Now your tvs will run off 12V power and you can have a cell phone charger or whatever else you want.

If you wanna add a solar pannel or two - you will be set. Its really only the TV for us or a fan that we need - we run the genny in the am for coffee and a quick recharge. Its great not running the genny all the time
