Inverter
I bought a new 2019 Entegra Odyssey 31L class C. The coach is made by Jayco it is a basically a Greyhawk 31fs with the bunk window like the Prestige models. They are sold in small numbers so getting any information from owners websites is near impossible. Can someone tell me where the 1000w inverter location is on the newer Greyhawks. My window sticker says it has one but there is no mention of it in the owners manual. Thanks for any input.

On your main panel do you have a switch labeled inverter? Its by the generator switch? I have a 2018 31fs and that's where it is but i am not sure where the actual inverter itself is.

No switch on the panel for inverter.

You might want to call Jayco and ask to speak to someone in the motorized division. They should know.

I'm going to look under the bed for the inverter. I hear something under the sink in a screwed closed panel. I'm thinking the pump or maybe the filter is in there. These things really need a map to find everything. On another note......I went under mine and could not believe the amount of wires just hanging loose not in any conduit. Could have easily been torn off backing in campsite on sticks or on the highway. Gorilla tape, wire ties and flexible conduit cleaned it all up.

As stated, it should be right near the converter / fuse panels. Our 29MVP is under the bed. Interesting that in all the owners manuals, it says the inverter should not be used for medical devices (CPAP), yet when I looked under my bed, it was a Magnum Dimensions Pure Sine Wave Inverter model CSW1012-NG. The CPAP requires pure sine wave, so we should be good once I upgrade the battery bank.
I'm certain the Entregra would have an inverter, but the lack of a switch on the control panel is strange - especially if it's listed on your label. When you find it, there will be a maze of wires there!

Hey, I have a 31L, I just tell people its a 31fsp though. There is an inverter switch on the control panel next to the generator. I haven't taken the equipment space under the bed apart yet, dont want to get too depressed by Jayco but im 99% certain the inverter is there, under the bed in the little compartment.

Hold the switch up for a second until you hear a beep.

These pictures are from our 2018 29MV. It's all there, under the bed.

Our 2019 MVP is laid out the same. The inverter is the rectangular white box in the last picture posted by Love To Travel 2. It is a 1000 watt sine wave unit from Magnum Dimensions.

I'm thinking I don't have an inverter. I don't have that switch and have not been under the bed to look yet. It is on the dealers description when I bought it and on the paperwork for the $6000 value package that it has. This weekend I'm gonna pull it out and take a look. Live on long island the land of 50×100 property lots and can't open the slides in my driveway.

I am just starting to research upgrading my inverter to a 2000 watt on my 2019 Greyhawk 30XP. I thought the dealer told me the inverter was mounted under the motor home....I'm going to lift up the bed tomorrow and see what I can find. I have already done the Batteries and solar...so I have lots of capacity....I am hoping to be able to connect the Microwave and kitchen outlets to the inverter so I can make coffee without waking up the neighbors.

I didn't have the inverter installed on mine. Was not on the window sticker but dealer advertised it with one. It was on my things to do list but I'm not sure I'm going to bother. I ran the over the cab bunk TV on a small 100 watt cigarette lighter inverter from the cab and it worked fine. Have not really had the need to do much more than that and only boondocked a few nights all summer. I'm still fixing all the quality control mishaps from the factory and there are many. I would like to add a 2nd house battery for the extra capacity but that's about it.

The inverter in my 2016 29MV was under the bed. It was far from the single battery and the wires to the battery were not sufficient enough to run a small coffeemaker (800w). I moved the inverter to a side compartment nearer the two 6volt batteries I installed and used 2ga stranded wire . I can run my coffeemaker several times now with no issues. It is a Keurig-type found on Amazon (Aicok brand). It makes a single cup of hot coffee. INMO Jayco put the 1000w inverter in to say it has one. It could only run the front TV. I replaced the Xantrex 1000 with a Xantrex 1800w model. I also have two solar panels on the roof.
The water pump is located in another section under the bed in my 2016 29MV. You need to removed a wood panel to access it. I store a backup pump there as well. Just in case the pump breaks while I’m away.

On my Entegra 26L, the inverter is under the lower bed platform. Interestingly, I just saw that it is installed with the front panel facing upwards. According to the manual with the unit, it should be installed horizontally. I am going to research this further to determine the impact of the installation. My inverter is supposed to be 1000W, but wouldn't power a 450W mini heater I tried using, triggering my search for the inverter.

My water pump is under the bed, in the slideout portion, toward the front and is impossible to access without the slideout open. If you go in last storage unit on driver side, when you turn it on from the control panel, you will hear it running. If you want to see it, remove the panel for the water tank controls but you can't service it this way.

Which outlets run off the inverter? I have one but have no idea which outlets it's hooked up to.

Never seen a Motorhome without an inverter....
Anyway, most just power the outlet at the front TV, some the microwave also.
