Optional 2500 Watt Inverter
If your vehicle has the engine generator option, you also have a 2500 watt inverter. This is sufficient to run all your
appliances. However, running large, high-energy appliances such as microwave ovens, air conditioning, toasters, etc. drains
your batteries very quickly. If you operate these appliances do so for a limited time unless you also have additional sources of
power.
Instead of the regular inverter switch on the monitor panel, your inverter switch will be on its own smaller panel back just to
the right of the thermostat on the passenger side of the rear lounge area. The switch has three positions: off in the middle
position, power save auto in the top position, and power save off in the bottom position.
In the power save auto setting, when you're not using anything with 120 volt power, the inverter will put itself to sleep. In this
mode, it still uses a small amount of power. If you turn on a 120 volt appliance, it senses a load and will come back on in
about 20 seconds. If you select power save auto you'll reduce the electricity it takes to keep the inverter powered, and your
batteries will require less recharging.
Pressing the bottom of the switch selects power save off. When this setting is selected, the inverter will be on continuously.
