We are needing to expand our inverter power in our Montana 5th wheel. Our current inverter is used for our residential refrigerator and a few accessories outlets. We also have the need to power our 1800 Watt microwave for lunch stops while towing and Harvest Host overnight stays. With our solar and large 300 amps of lithium batteries, we have ample power to support other 110V AC appliances. Not wanting to change our our current inverter, we wanted to add a second unit dedicated inverter for the microwave. We’re evaluating the LiTime 3000 Watt 12V Pure Sine Wave Inverter to see if it will meet our needs.

I have six of the LiTime 200AHPlus LifePo4 batteries and they have been amazing. Can't beat the price. Thanks for your review of this inverter!

Great video, thanks. Would love to see how you use this in your 5th wheel for the microwave and other gadgets.

Will be adding later this summer with an auto transfer switch. Will give an update.

I just bought one of these and plan to install this weekend into my 36ft TT. I travel for work and don't always have full hookups so I'll need to plug the trailer into a homemade power station. It has a 200ah/200a BMS battery, this inverter and waterproof 110v and 30a RV plugs. Would have liked to see how warm your cables got pulling that load and if you plan to use a large fuse or circuit breaker in between the battery and inverter.

I didn’t put a gun in them, but the pair were slightly warm to touch. When I do the permanent install this summer I’ll use 2/0 main because the run from battery to inverter will be 3’. Not a fan of circuit breakers, but will add a 250A fuse between battery and inverter.

If you going to test anything, you need to test it past it limits so you can see if it can handle factory specifications past 3,000 watts.

After seeing your video I just ordered one for my TT. Looking to hardwire a Romex line from the front bay to the rear of the rv through conduit w/weather proof plug near the 30A connection and 110 pigtail adapter. Then run a 12GA 6’ cord when needed. What size Romex should I use for the 25’ run?

@iLoveRVlife Ай бұрын

Suggest using 10 gauge for both the Rolex and the 6’ cord.

great video thanks. I just bought the LiTime 3000 watt inverter. I am interested in the the 30amp output terminal. Can I just install a pigtail TT-30amp outlet on it and then I would plug my TT-30 amp trailer's power cord into it and everything would run off of that 30amp (25amps) outlet of coarse using power management inside the trailer?

That’s a good option Earl. If cabling isn’t an issue with the hook up, there’s no reason why this won’t work. Suggest using 10 gauge to wire the plug.

Thanks for sharing the video. I also purchased a Litime 3000W with 300ah battery.. money well spent. I’m in the process of installing in my travel trailer. I too used a 30amp output terminal using 10 gauge green white black wire. It does indeed work just fine. But I notice d that Litime provided a yellow and green jumper cable. Would you guys know if I would have to use the ground terminal under the 3 high output connectors on the inverter ? Thanks 👍

Sometimes GFIs misbehave without the unit ground. If you have this happening give it a try. Good to hear the project went well.

@@e.serrano7149 I'm about to do the exact same setup!

@CaptTPT Ай бұрын

This inverter does not require 120v input, like some other inverters. Correct? Do you know why that is and what the difference is with inverters the use 120v input?

@iLoveRVlife Ай бұрын

Inverters with 120V input have a built-in transfer switch. This one doesn’t. It’s a cost issue. If this feature is needed, an external switch can be added, such as the WFCO T30 for less than $100.

The one thing that drives me crazy is I always or most people have to install their inverter upside down. I have never seen a 5th wheel trailer where the batteries were not on the right side. The inverters (any brand) always have their battery connection on the left side. Installing the inverter upside down so the battery terminals are close to the batteries you cannot ready the display. Inverters should have a means to rotate the display screen 180 degrees or remove the inverter housing and turn it around so the display is right side up. : (

So true, but many now have Bluetooth or an external display that helps.
