Also, now I have a generator that I can use for other things around the house. It isn't much louder than an RV generator so I don't think it will be to disruptive to the neighbors. I can run it in the morning to make a pot of coffee, run it during the day for a few hours to charge the battery, phones and laptops. I figured that with the generator I don't have to modify the trailer I can just plug shore power cable into it.

The cost of a decent inverter was double the generator ( I bought it used), so for now I will have power at least. My thought was that if I get the generator first then I can start working on the inverter system as I can afford it. I did buy a the Honda generator yesterday so that will be my power source when boon docking for now. Thanks for all the information everyone, it is was very helpful. Here is a good video by a guy who bought your inverter, LOL. It takes a lot of juice, but I've got dual batteries and solar and I just felt like seeing what it could do. I have a 600W Magnum 612 that draws about 0.7A in search mode as a point of reference. You can measure the standby power consumption with an ammeter if you're curious as to the efficiency hit you're taking. If something goes south at least you won't burn the trailer down. If you're dead set on trying your Chinese toy wire it with heavy 0 gauge or larger battery cable and a 150A to 200A circuit breaker or fuse rated for DC. The smartest thing you could do is return it and buy from a reputable manufacturer, Magnum energy is a good one but there are others. If the specifications aren't clearly spelled out, and your unit is not manufactured by a reputable company all bets are off. They would have to be huge to support 200A+. One indication is the size of the wire or terminals on the unit. For this weekend there is no risk of having shore power and the inverter on I just want to get it installed.įirst of all, a true 3000W inverter would cost a lot more than $200.

I plan on gearing up a relay on the converter power supply in the future so that the converter is disconnected when the inverter is turned on, and the installing a 30A plug outside so I can just plug my shore power in there. I am assuming that 250A would be a good size, am I correct? Will this be a safe location? I know that watts/V=A so 2500W/12Vdc = 208A, what I don't know is what this will increase to on #1 wire. How should I wire it? Positive on one side negative on the other or both positive and negative on the same side?ģ) I plan on installing this under one of the benches that will be designated strictly for the inverter, with #1 wire from the battery to the inverter (approx 3.5') and fused at 250A. Is this wattage to high for one battery? Will it drain my battery faster than if I had a 2000W or 1000W model even though I will not be using near its rated wattage? Or will it only drain the battery equivalent to the wattage that I am using?Ģ) There are two sets of +/- terminals on the back, and the instructions and internet info is lacking. My concerns are as follows:ġ) I will be currently running this off of a single Marine Deep cycle battery. I know that I have more than enough power in this unit, but figured it was better to have it and not need it, that to need it and not have it. First let me say that all expect to use this for is to charge a laptop or cell phone and run a 600W coffee maker in the morning. Needles to say I bought the 3000W inverter and am now worried that I made the wrong decision. While I was there I noticed a 3000W MSW inverter fro 199.99. I went to Canadian Tire as they had a 1000W MSW inverter on for 89.99$. I am going dry camping this weekend and wanted to outfit my 2010 Jayco 1207 with an inverter for some minor power uses.
