2021 x23b inverter

Hi all,
About to take possession of a new 2021...
I was told there is no inverter on this rig.
That leaves me a bit confused as to what I can and cannot do while on battery power.
Silly questions...
Do ANY outlets work off my (2) batteries?
I got the solar option as well, so I think I am ok with battery power, but have need of the mattress heaters and a cpap machine. What can I do about those 110 items?
I know I will have no ac and microwave when on batteries.
Can I add an inverter to power a few of the 110 outlets while on battery?
Would that void warranty?
So many questions!!
Thanks,
Jerry

No inverter on a 23B. Only things that will work is the 12v system, aka lights, water heater & frig (propane mode), furnace, radio, etc. No microwave, ac, no traditional wall outlets.

The cpap should not be a huge issue. I purchased a 12v power cord for my cpap. I also installed a few 12V outlets near the bed. Your new 23B might have outlets nearby.

I do not have the OEM mattress pad heaters. I do use aftermarket ones. Typically in cool weather we find a campsite with electric. If we do not, I place a few fleece blankets on top of the mattress before making the bed. Bring a long a few extra blankets.

I have a small inverter that I can plug into a 12V outlet that can run my electric mattress pad, but have never done it. If I recall my mattress pads pull about 180 watts each when on high.

If you have enough batteries and solar, it should not be to big of an issue using a small 12V plug in inverter. Just note, there is a lot of inefficiencies using an inverter, so your batteries will deplate a bit faster.

As for voiding the warranty, the can only void something you changed. For example, if you added an outlet off of the microwave outlet, and connected the wired say backwards, and say the microwave fried. They would not cover it. That change would not void the bathroom outlet warranty.

Have fun with your new HTT

Thank you so much for the reply.
You mention a 12v outlet...
Where would that be? Is that a cigarette type plug?
I don't recall seeing one in the initial walkthrough.
I DO have a couple of USB outlets ..

The 12v outlets are the cigarette aux style. My 2012 only came with one. And it is under the radio, along side the tv antenna connection.

I think I added about 6 12v aux outlets. If you have the power port for the bunk light/fan, you can make an adapter or tie into that power feed, for a traditional aux outlet.
