How Do I Add A Power Inverter To My RV?

I would like to add an inverter to my RV how do I do this?

ANSWER: Greetings Teri thanks for submitting your question on our Ask An RV Question Page.

Adding a 12 Volt Inverter to your RV could be as easy as plugging one into a cigarette lighter of the RV. It all depends on what type of electric devices you are planning on using. For larger demand electric items you will have to hard-wire the inverter to your House Batteries.

The first thing you have to do is figure out what electrical demand you will have. Please read the answers that I gave to the questions below and you will get all the information you need to choose the right inverter.
