I'm getting ready to purchase and install the XM 1800 inverter (no charger) on my 260da. What I would *like* to do is wire the output of the inverter into the main system so that...
1. It only runs when enabled via a rocker switch in the electrical panel (I do want the auto transfer switch enabled for safety in case we forget to kill it before plugging into shore power).
2. It runs through all existing outlets instead of running a seperate GFCI outlet just off the inverter.
The intent of the inverter will be to only run cell phone chargers, or a laptop while underway or at anchor and a CPAP machine (pulls only 200W) for overnight on anchor stays.
None of this appears to be a problem but I'm wondering about any pro's/con's before we start the project?
