Do you mean how the van's overall 120 VAC system is wired, or the internal mod I made to the A/C so the inverter would spin up the compressor?

The inverter we used includes full house power management--it will run the generator as necessary to charge up the batteries, then shut it down until it is needed again. (Kinda like a thermostat,...

We are using the Xantrex P2000 and it starts the AC just fine with or without the gen. This is the inverter that SMB TX has used in the past and sounds like they will continue to use in the...
