Portable Power Station

[MHold]

I purchased a Pecron E2000LFP portable power station to run my propane/AC refrigerator while traveling. Has anyone hooked up a portable power station to an RV through the prewired generator hook up? The Pecron has a 30 amp RV outlet but my RV wire cord is in the rear of my 2020 Pinnacle 32RLTS. Is there a better way to power the refrigerator while traveling other than plugging in the refrigerator direct to the power station? Thanks in advance!

I bought a 50' 30amp cord and ran it from our pin connection under the belly and tied it up under the RV. Then I tie up the 50amp cord to the ladder and connect the 2 cords together. It works like a champ and then my generator is secure in the bed of my truck.

Connecting the 120 volt refrigerator plug to the power station would work as long as house batteries are charged and connected.
I suggest you investigate how much “pre-wiring” they did. Most importantly, does it have an automatic transfer switch? If the answer is yes, and it is wired to the “pre-wire” then you should have no problems. If not, then you must go to plan B.
So, you need this to run the 120 volt electric heat elements in your 12 volt controlled propane/electric refrigerator. Correct?
If you use pre-wire and power the whole RV, and if your house batteries are not fully charged, they will drain power from your power station.

I have a Bluetti 200L in my 26m, used it all last year, and it worked great. I did as others suggested and ran a 30 amp cable where the existing shore power cable is, then ran underneath to my outside kitchen where my 200L is. I have also wired solar and a Bluetti charger 1 for DC to DC. I added a B210 expansion battery as I was happy with this setup. I can run everything driving down the road, and between the solar and charger 1, it keeps the battery topped off in case I want to overnight off hookups. The nice part of setting it up like this is that you don't have to tap into the existing wiring other than the battery if you want DC to DC.

Little confused here. Why not just run the fridge on propane while going down the road. Very little draw from house battery.

My thinking is, the Power station has been purchased. The purchase needs to be justified. Just my opinion.
