Forum Discussion
I vote "no"...installing an INverter. However...that depends on the type of RVing one does. Boondocking...probably could use one. ONLY full hookup campgrounds? Probably not. A very seldom overnighter at WalMart? Again...probably not.
My 2001 came with a CONverter and an INverter. Last fall, I removed the INverter. The TV, 2 outlets and the bed room outlets were on that circuit. Didn't get any power to any of those outlets. INverter crapped out. Never used it, anyway. If not hooked up to shore power, and wanted a cuppa coffee, either turn on the generator, or perc a pot on the stove.
So...I guess it depends on what one does. I never needed or used it. That's me. And...to buy one...lotta bucks. ($1000?) Would that be worth it? Up to you.
Now...with CONverters...after all these years, mine was getting "weak". Bought a PARALLAX 4455.($200) NOT the "smart charge version....I figured my original (Magnatek) didn't have that feature (not mentioned in the owners' manual) didn't need it then...why need it now? All works just fine.
Just my opinion(s).....
