Hi all - I need some help:

I need to find the right 12v to 120v inverter for the coach. I have two 6v Golf batteries for house power, 1 12v battery for the engine and a newish 80amp alternator.

I just hooked up a used Vanner IT12-2400 Sine Inverter to the house batteries and could not get any more that 750 watts from it before it either caused the running coach power to drop to below 10v or switched off (due to "overload" or "low DC") even if the engine was running at RPMs well above idle.

What inverters have been sucessfully used on the GMC?

Thanks and Cheers, Wayne
