The inverter is located in the compartment in front of the driver's side rear wheel. It
transforms 12 VDC into 120 VAC power usable by the major appliances. With the
inverter, appliances can utilize power stored in the house batteries without using power
from the generator or shore line.
The remote inverter panel is located in either the corner or on the front of the lower galley
cabinet (2480 floor plan). Not all circuits are connected to the inverter and not all appli-
ances can be run without the generator or shore line.
The inverter has its own internal breakers; therefore, power from the inverter is not chan-
neled through the circuit breaker panel. If power is not reaching appliances served by the
inverter, reset the inverter by pressing the RESET button fully turning the unit off and on
three times.
Power for the inverter comes from the house batteries. Keep an eye on the battery level as
you use your appliances. The battery level can be checked using the Coach Monitor Panel.

microwave oven requires either shore line or generator power to operate.
