When I purchased my 2018 Redwood, the dealership where I purchased my camper indicated that the inverter switch for the frig on my inverter must be turned on when traveling and turned off when I connected to a power source. The inverter is located on the ceiling in the compartment with my batteries and is hard to get to. Two questions that need clarification, do I actually need to turn this switch on and off as described above or does it automatically switch back and forth when I hook and unhook from the power source? Secondly, if it must be turned on and off, is there a switch located inside the camper or within my in command control box? I saw in general RV questions in some of the older Redwoods there was a switch inside.
You do not need to turn off the inverter when connected to a power source. There is a transfer switch installed that takes care of bypassing the inverter when plugged into shore power or generator power. The ‘18 s don't a remote switch but you can buy one. It’s called: CSW-RS. Your favorite online retailer should have it.
Oh yeah forgot to mention, you do have to turn off the inverter when not in use. Even on standby the inverter uses power. Better yet install a battery cut off switch for the inverter as Redwood bypassed the inverter with the existing battery cut off switch.
Also we have the CSW-1012 model.

Does anyone know where the inverter is located on a 2019 3901 WB? For some reason my Frig isn't getting power if I am not on shore power now.
Thanks
On the 2018 model, the inverter is in the battery compartment, up on the ceiling. There is a power switch to turn the inverter on/off. You gotta be a bit of a contortionist to reach it. Or you can buy the handy remote switch.
