Nice system, although I have to ask why you didn't consider installing a transfer switch instead of going through the hassle of running all of the wiring to the shore power plug?

I'm using 2 gauge wires that I plan to use when I install the system. I dont know how much of a load is on the general breaker. I will call the manufacturer in the morning to find out.

...once I install the other two batteries it will work fine.

I have solar panels to keep the batteries charged. And I hear the beeping coming from the RV. And no displays of any kind on the inverter. I'm hoping that there just isn't enough battery power and once I install the batteries it will work fine.

I just bought a 3000 watt inverter. I have two 12 volt batteries on my RV with 2 more waiting to be installed. I quickly wanted to test what you have set up on your video, connecting the RV power into the inverter prior to installing the inverter and extra batteries. After temporarily setting everything up and turning on the inverter I heard a beeping noise so I turned off the General breaker and it stopped. But of course none of the receptacles worked. My question is, could that be because there are not enough batteries installed? I was really hoping this would work so I don't always have to lug around my generator when I go dry camping and still be able to use some appliances and watch tv.

good job is it possible to run the inverter through the converter without turning off the main power switch to the converter? and can you run the central heater and stove in that way.

A terribly inefficient way to power the trailer by going through the shore power plug with the inverter. By doing this you converter/charger is running. To put it in different terms.... you are inverting power from 12v dc to 120v ac.... then through the converter, you are changing it back from 120v ac to 12v dc, to run lights, etc.. Every time you invert/convert you loose power through heat/resistance. You would have been far better off to run a few auto switches for the circuits you need to run when you're dry camping.
