Hello from coming R-Podders,
A couple days ago we did a PDI of our 2021 RP-195 and despite all the YouTube videos about R-Pods we watched before hand, the inverter located in the ceiling of the under-bed pass-through caught me by surprise. I had thought the inverter (for producing 115ac from the 12v dc Battery), was integral with the shore power battery charger “converter” inside the fuse panel.
It turns out the inverter wasn’t working. The parts department said it was a new model of inverter just recently used in the RPs recently on their lot. I failed to note the mfg/model, but it has an on/off switch, and an LCD display mounted upside down in the pass through where you have to crawl in to read the display. Mine is also very loosely mounted causing plenty of waggle on the road I imagine (perhaps the cause of failure). of A small Remote on/off switch Panel is by the bed.
Is this indeed a new inverter to the RPs? Is it common for these to be DOA?
Thanks,
