Hi I have a 2500w pure sine wave inverter in my motorhome, the inverter is located in the rear storage next to the leisure batteries and i want to move the small lcd display that shows voltage/amps/temp etc into the living space (approx 6 meters away) so i can monitor the output and temp without going outside the motorhome to access the inverer.
I have made a 7pin extension wire and the display works perfectally for a few seconds then it stays illuminated but the display goes blank.
I have tried normal wiring and twisted pair network cable but its still the same. any ideas if what i am trying is possible or should i give up?
Just to add my electronics knowledge is basic at best! so please keep any advice simple.
Thanks for your time
