2021 381MR - do I have an inverter?
I’ve been curious about this for a couple months now, in the “storage” (or lack thereof) compartment below there is a small controller that shows if the inverter is on or off.
Now from what I’ve experienced so far, I do not have an inverter since none of my 120vac works off battery power, only if the generator’s running or I’m plugged in of course. I recall reading somewhere that the residential fridge models get inverters but I dunno if that’s true. I have the resi fridge but it doesn’t turn on with battery power.
Soooo, what is this “inverter”? Haha

The inverter is in the front storage compartment on the other side of wall from the controller in your picture. When the green light is on it should send power to fridge. I think they just power fridge only not all outlets.

Just for your fridge on the R models.
If you get the solar option, it would power more things.Steve- Inventory Manager at Tom Schaeffer's RV, Shoemakersville, PA www.tomschaeffers.com

Thanks, that’s what I was thinking. I’ll have to look into it further because my fridge doesn’t work off battery power currently. It only turns on with generator or shore power

Your residential refrigerator should run off the batteries if you turn on the inverter. The remote switch for the inverter is in your picture. Where did GD put it?
The inverter in our 2018 374TH-R Solitude looks like this.
HERE is a LINK to the manual.

Finally did some more digging.
So the remote ON/OFF button does nothing. The green LED stays lit no matter what.
I found the location of the inverter, it’s up front in the generator bay on the “roof” of that area. The wiring appears to be correct and I do see the remote RJ11 wire plugged in as well. It’s the WFCO WF-5110R model.
I didn’t do any electrical tests yet but just did a visual inspection. But since the remote on/off does nothing I’m wondering if the inverter is bad or something different. But could make sense since my fridge doesn’t run off battery power.2021 Momentum 381M (Ordered 3/6/2020, Delivered 8/27/2020)
