Nope! I have six batteries. Two chasis batteries 12 volt to start the cat engine. Then there are four deep cycle six volt batteries hooked up in series I believe to power any thing that is 12volt. Now if I am with out shore power THEN I turn on the 3000 watt inverter to run anything that requires 110 volts.

I can see if you have a residential type refrigerator where you need more batteries, but if you have the propane/electric 1200lrim, THEN you really do not need those two extra 12 volt batteries. Just extra expense because the four six volt would do the job. Maybe it is because you have a smaller inverter.
