Since I don't have much that depends on 120, I think I am just going to remove the 120 converter from the inside LED lights, add a 12v USB charger plug and wire those back. Easier and cheaper than buying and installing an inverter and transfer switch.
I have a little cigarette lighter inverter that should do in a pinch.
Good Call Don!
You are going to love your PD4045, it will do everything you will need for your TD.
When I wired "Miss Piggy" I did so for 110 and 12v, thinking we would have shoreline power as a luxury. But as it turns out power is available most places we camp.
We carry a small inverter, but have never had to use it.
Our TV charges the 12V Deep Cycle battery as we drive and we now have a Solar Panel that simply plugs into the TD like the car does when we are driving, to charge the battery. No extra wiring required.
Glad to hear you are getting close on you build.......looks like you have done a wonderful job!
Hope to see you out camping this season. "On Our Way Campout" Apr. 22-24th in Yakima??
