Re: New (to me) rig with potential electrical "issues"
No large inverter for me. To use the microwave, I will have to be plugged into shore power or generator. The primary draw items I have are the fridge, water pump, and interior lights. I don't have any A/V equipment installed but there is a small (350 watt) inverter that is mounted near the cig lighter that might get occasional use. I'm thinking the 4 gauge wire I put in will be enough, especially since the rig was set up and working with the smaller gauge wire before. It'll all get tested out this weekend when we take it on an overnighter at the beach.
Any input on the voltage output from the alternator? I did some googling and people were saying with a cold engine/alternator, it will put out more voltage, then regulate itself when it warms up. I might have to take it for a spin after work today to get it warmed up and see what the readout is.
