Hi all

I have this in my vista 248 , in a hidden cupboard under the step down into the cabin.
Its clearly converting down to US voltage from 220/240, but whats actually running from it? v difficult to trace where the cables are going.
any ideas anybody? it does seem slightly hot after leaving shore power on for a few days so I'm guessing the fridge maybe as one thing ?

It should be tied from your shore power connector to your main AC power panel. Anything that is running AC power off of shore power would come thru this inverter I would assume.
So your battery charger, fridge, and anything in the on position on your power panel would be going thru it.

Yes I tend to agree...presumably this is fitted for the European market by 4 winns rather than changing out the equipment to run at 220/240 v ?
