Charger and Inverter Question.

[WelshGas]

2014 MY California SE. The Mains Charger is in the Rear Sub-Wardrobe cupboard with one of the Leisure Batteries.

Where is the 12v - 230v Inverter Unit fitted?
Is the Inverter Socket the actual Inverter, or just a socket?

on this thread somebody thinks it is in the pillar

Thanks for that. A 150w Inverter wouldn't be that large in size and the fact that the Inverter Socket has a microswitch and LED indicator would seem to indicate that the socket is the Inverter.
Would seem to be overly complicated to have a separate Inverter Unit and just a socket with microswitch to switch it on.

I agree, i think it is fed from the van battery rather than the leisure battery??

No, it is definitely from the Leisure Batteries.
