So after picking up our T@b on Wednesday, blowing the 150A fuse on the inverter on Thursday, Taking it back to the dealer on Friday (who fixed the fuse issue and got the inverter working again)!!!!.  I've got a question:

I thought that on a '21 T@B 400 BD the AIMS Power 1200 Watt Inverter provided power to the following outlets:  Bathroom, Bedroom cubby, and the one in the dinette.

However, I was told by my dealer that the inverter only powered the bedroom cubby outlet.

I've looked at my inverter manual and the manuals provided but I can't seem to find anything that tells me if I'm mistaken or if the dealer is.

I've seen other posts on here about the inverter outlet but they were of a 2020 T@b and I'm not sure if NüCamp changed things for the '21s.

I've watched the Travels with Delaney videos but his was a 2018 model so I apologize if I've missed a T that I should have crossed before posting on here.

Thank you in advance for the knowledge!!

    The 2021 T@B 400 inverter only powers the 110 outlet in the cubby.

    I believe only the 2020 and possibly some early 2021 TaB400s had the additional outlets on the Inverter, which meant the inverter had to be in to use any of the outlets, which caused batter drain issues and some complaints, which were posted here.  

    It seems one of the biggest uses of the inverter is to run CPaP machines or similar.  On the 2018/2019 the inverter only powered one outlet at the foot of the bed, under the galley extension counter.  Looks like they went back to a single outlet during the 2021 run.

    The AMIS Inverter is only a 1800 watt unit, not really big enough to run multiple outlets.  At best, you only get about 950 watts continuous power.  If you want to support higher loads, like a small microwave or multiple outlets, you need to step up to a minimum of 2000 watt unit, which needs 200 amp hours of available battery power.

    Our 400, built in December 2020 has inverter power to the bedroom cubby, that’s it.  All others require external power.
