The other night we had a storm and the power was out over night, so we decided to go to our 2020 Reflection 28BH so we could watch tv. When we got in, the lights and radio would work, but the TV and Microwave would not. When the house power came back on and sent power back to the trailer everything worked. I thought that the battery in the trailer would run everything while it was charged, and yes it was fully charged. Do you have to do something else to make th stuff besides the lights work from the battery or is something wrong with my RV.

There is a LOT of information related to this subject! Be prepared to do some reading if you're serious about getting an inverter. If you want to read what I've done in my camper, check out this thread: https://gdrvowners.com/forum/operati...s-in-a-315rltsForum moderators are not GD employees--we are volunteers and owners presumably just like yourself.

Another method would be to purchase a small inverter (probably about 300 watts and connect it to a 12 volt source in order to provide power for the TV.
