Question TV to operate on inverter power

I'm wondering if anyone has or has found an electrical schematic for a Cruiser Aire 29SI model year 2018? I want to change or install a larger power inverter to power up the Entertainment center and the TV in the bedroom. I have installed 4-6v deep cell batteries and would like to power things up!
Anybody have any suggestions or answers?

Hello and welcome!

Are you sure that you have an inverter and not a converter?

There are no electrical schematic's available unfortunately.

Also if you would add a signature with your year make and model camper it helps a lot. I know you included it your question but please add it to your signature.

Thanks and happy camping.

Get an Inverter {DC to AC}, and hook it through a transfer switch, into your electrical box, and hook it so that when you plug into shore power/generator that those items then take priority. That way when you use your inverter your also not wasting DC power to keep the transfer switches magnets activated. That way when your on shore power or using your generator it's not a noticeable loss of voltage being drawn and don't matter, to keep those electric magnets powered-up to use that source of power. You'll also have to separately have to wire your converter to the same side as the shore/generator along with a fuse, so that when your using your inverter that it's not powering up the converter and trying to charge the battery. That's just a vicious circle creating heat and killing your batteries. Common set up with most that use solar. Quite a few Utube on transfer switch and set up.

The radios and audio system in an RV run on 12 volts.. battery power.
I discovered that my TV is a 12 volt TV, and has an adaptor to run it on 110.
Perhaps yours is the same.
In either case, if all you want to run on an invertor is a TV and audio center, it would be much easier and cheaper just to buy a 12 volt TV.

price is the only limiting factor for inverter setups.
There are some guys in alberta that helped me out a bit. Check out CBI Solar.
I think they are in the Red deer area.
Victron energy is the best stuff to look at. But it runs a big cost.
