What size and brand name inverter are you using in your GMC and what do you power from them. Did you have to upgrade your alternator or do you run a stock alternator. My plan is to use the stock alternator and 2500 watt inverter which will handle 20 amps at 120 volts. But if I am missing something and should go larger or could go smaller it would be good to know before I part with the money and have to start over. The main thing that I think I would be powering is the refrigerator. On the road sometimes passengers want to watch TV so that is also a consideration. I am looking at pure sine units just because that is what I have used in the past. Ken sent me an excellent diagram so I have a good plan to wire things up but my question now is size and brand name. I am familiar with Magnum inverters but I think that is overkill.

I realize that asking what is best is opening a can of worms so I am really just asking what has worked for you in terms of brand name and size.

Thanks
