Bought a Xantrex 1750 watt pure sine wave inverter at the flea market yesterday. Couldn't refuse really, just $80.
I thought it would be a good thing to add to the coach but thinking about it, not really sure what the advantage of it would be and of course no idea how or where I could cable it up to the existing system ...I don't have much in the way of appliances ATM, just the 2-way fridge and a microwave.
My computer runs and charges on 5v and the genset/alternator charge the vacuum and power tool batteries. I make coffee/tea on the gas range, old school, boiling water. I did have a fantasy about moving my home music recording setup into the coach and I suppose that's what motivated me into getting the inverter .. plus in the back of my mind there's always the solar thing, but if I go that way (solar) my battery system will need a a big upgrade I should think.
So any advice/suggestions for installs/uses other that buy in haste repent at leisure?
