Unistrut Frame for Battery Tray

I installed 2 very large and heavy AGM batteries in the compartment next to the propane/ battery compartment in my 35S. I built a Unistrut frame to carry the weight of my 2 x 136lbs. batteries on a battery tray. All the weight is hung from the chassis frame.

We have a Alante 26AY, smaller than yours so it did not come with an inverter, so I added a 2500 watt one as well as upgrading the batteries and adding lots of solar (720 watts). We power the entire coach with the exception of the converter (duh! ) As long as we limit the Micro to short usage we have plenty of AC for TV's, coffee, blow dryer, heater, ect. I try hard to keep my batteries above 70% charge, not too hard.

2015 Precept 31UL Inverter is located under bed, under plywood. there is a 15amp resetable breaker on the side . push to reset. Learned the hard way. if the table outlet and passenger outlet combined amperage exceeds 15A. the breaker in the converter panel didn't blow, it was the the inverters. I wish the manuals had this info. the inverter instructions stated to place inverter near cabin batteries. twasn^t there.

Is it ok to run the inverter while driving ?
Thinking that would be my main objective

2017 Alante 26Y Inverter

We’re on the road and having electrical issues. I spoke to Jayco and they said to reset the inverter by pressing the reset button which they said is under the bed. Under the bed is a large panel box, and a small panel box. I’m assuming the small box houses the inverter, however, it’s screwed and glued shut👀.
I hate to rip things apart, but...
Any advice?

This is a picture under the bed of my 31V. The panel was screwed down but not glued.

(Sorry about the rotated picture)

The box that say's the Wizard is the inverter. You should find a small reset bottom on one of the sides. If you can't find it, unplug the AC cord feeding it, wait about a minute, and plug it back in. That should force a reset as well.

Good luck!
