INVERTER/CHARGER

Please refer to the manufacturer’s operating instructions for further information. 

Your vehicle is equipped with the Xantrex Freedom XC 2000 watt 

Pure-sine wave inverter/charger located inside the passenger 

side ottoman cushion. The inverter/charger provides a 12 volt 

DC power inverted to 110-120 volt AC power for the microwave, 

entertainment center, induction cooktop and all AC outlets in and 

outside the coach. 

The charging portion of the inverter is set to LFP to charge the 

coach batteries.

The inverter will be limited by the state of charge of the coach 

batteries and amperage draw from individual appliances. 

A built-in automatic transfer switch allows the coach to receive 

power from only one source, so that if you are on shore power or 

generator power it bypasses the inverter. The inverter will draw 

.6 amps of DC power if it is turned on and no load is being drawn 

from the inverter. If no load is on the inverter it will turn itself off 

after 25 hours of continual operation. 

The inverter is powered by the large red wires in the battery 

compartment. There is also a 250 amp mega-fuse in the system to 

protect the inverter and the coach.

CAUTION:

 Ensure all venting for the inverter is kept clear of 

blockage.
