Hi guys,

Does the GC 600/680 come with a factory fitted inverter? I have read mixed reviews, from what I gather, a single 3 pin plug socket (UK) is connected to an inverter and therefore works for low watt devices while off grid? If this is true, does anyone know which socket this is?

I’m on build week 20! Not long now .

Thanks
 
Just been out to check and vehicle is not on EHU.

Five, 3 pin plugs. One under bench seat, one on outside wall where sliding door is, 2 above kitchen, one in rear. None live.

There are three 12 volt sockets, behind the front seats, all live.

We bought this for when out and about:

Hi Ian, Thanks for checking this for me Great solution too - I will get one of these to keep in a cupboard for the off chance I need it.

Cheers

I have 1 (230v / 300w) at the side of the driver seeat. But it only works when the engine is running.

Not available on UK spec vehicles. That inverter sounds like a carry over from a crafter panel van spec if it only works with the engine running.
