Jeff, Interesting problem - I guess Magnum wants you to buy two inverters to run a 50a trailer huh? What a PITA!
Only if you want both legs. I don't. I bought this rig because it was the only fifth wheel toy hauler out there within my weight restrictions. The two major draw backs with this rig are the 50 amp service and that asinine cougar touch panel. We can never have everything we want.

With this hybrid inverter and the solar IF I need AC I can provide the 1600 watts between my 1500 watt 2000i champion and the 700 watt solar array. The batteries are for the inrush surge when the compressor starts thus the 3000 watt size. In addition to all the left side breakers the AC breaker would be off all the time as well. If I turned the AC breaker on the microwave breaker would go off.
I wanted to be able to run the AC in a pinch if things got really hot.

In addition if I ever started to need AC more often I would replace that obnoxiously loud and inefficient 15k Dometic with a 13.5k Coleman Mach III PS (not the plus). This way I would only need 1100 watts.
