32 RLS 2024 Renorgy 2000 w inverter issue.

[David T]

I have installed a 2000w renorgy pure sine wave inverter with built in pass through switch into my 2024 32rls. The issue I have is now on shore power the island outlet and the outlets by the stove and also the outlets on both sides of the bed have no power. If i turn on the inverter and leave shore power connected everything works properly. Shouldn't they all work on shore power with the inverter off as it did before? Did I do something wrong in hooking it up? I went through the inverter prep wires that were installed by alliance. Any help or thought would be appreciated.

The "inverter prep" only power a handful of outlets. It is NOT powering all outlets (as you have found out). If you want to power all outlets, you should consider a 3k inverter. Then wire output from the new 3k inverter directly to the breaker panel.

I'm not familiar with the Renogy inverter, but it might have to be "on" in order for the power to pass through. The inverter prep is just a loop and if it's broken, those outlets you describe will not get power. Is it drawing from the battery when on and plugged in?

Jim has the right answer. I wired ours with a Victron MultiPlus II inverter, 920 AH of batteries and 2200 watts of solar. We mostly dry camp/boondock and the inverter stays on 24 hours a day and powers everything in the trailer (just not everything at once).

Darn... you have me beat LOL We have 810 amp hours and 2,000 watts of solar...same Victron inverter. Not shown in this image is newly added Victron Orion DC-to-DC 50 amp charger.

I have a Victron DC - DC 50 amp as well. I also have 3 solar charge controllers as I have two different sized panels on the roof and the 3rd controller is for the 400 watts of portable panels.

Oh yea..I do have a 3rd Victron MPPT (75/10) controller for our 200w of external/portable panels. Haven't used them in over a year, so I forget I have it

Jim, Thank you for your reply. I'm not really wanting the inverter to power all my outlets and I am fine with the ones it does power. My question really is with the invert off and hooked to shore power, I do not get any power to the outlets that the inverter does power when its used (turned on). Is that proper or have i possibly wired something wrong?

Properly wired with a transfer switch:
1 - if ON shore power all outlets should be "hot".
2 - If OFF shore power and inverter is "on" only the selected outlets are "hot".
