I used to get by with a 650 watt XANTREX PSW in my old 37' fiver with 4 Trojan T-105's. You are right, that you have to turn off the converter breaker and don't forget to change the fridge and water heater to gas. Just have to keep in mind where your limitations lie. Items like the microwave, toaster, crock pot, electric skillet and electric coffee pot are items I would sure try to avoid. Use only what you need and turn off any tv or lights when you really don't need them. It may surprise you how little you can get by with if everybody cooperates.
I can get buy using none of the stuff like micro, coffee maker, etc.
Ive boondocked like this many times in the old camper using 120 watt invertors at 3 locations..
But since i am going to do the plug in rv methohod I assumed just go bigger so I may be able to run things I couldnt in the past..
I was thinking outloud that I could run say the micowave if I needed to with the invertor. And wondering if this scenerio would help..
Batts somewhat charged
Solar putting say 15 amps into batts
Truck plugged into camper with enging running.
Would the above help?
Or should I say forget it and not think about running hi draw stuff and just save money and go with the 1100 watt model..
