Hal/ Johnny,
Here's a sequence of photos of the install:
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/g6710-xantrex-inverter-installation.html
Note that after these photos were taken a 30 amp ATS was installed. It feeds 110 vac from shore / Onan power or the Xantrex to the
Sharp.
I can't remember the wire gage that feeds the Sharpe from the ATS but I've been told that could be a problem. I've also been told
that two 6 VDC / 225 amp hour batteries aren't enough to feed the Sharp through the Xantrex.
My plan was to increase the wire size from the Xantrex to the 30 amp ATS and to the Sharp and see what happens. If that doesn't work
see if there's enough room to put three 12 volt deep cycle batteries connected in parallel where the two 6 vdc batteries are.
Having noted all this I will be selling Double Trouble (too many memories of Helen) and may just swap this all over to the Kingsley.
There is a LOT more room under the driver side bed in the Kingsley and I believe I can fit more batteries.
Regards,
Rob M.

Rob, what size inverter do you have? What size cables and how far is the inverter from the batteries? Anything less than a 2000 watt
is probably going to struggle and even with that size inverter your run time will be VERY short. Microwave's draw an awful large
load, not a real good candidate for running off batteries.
