magnum ME 2012
Hi Can any of you good people tell me the difference between the ME 2012 and the ME 2012-20B. My unit is fried and I want to replace it but do not want to buy the wrong one. Thanks Terry

Then this implies that the circuits in your RV are unsafe to begin with, because a 30a shore hookup is very capable of delivering 2000w.
Maybe I'm a little slow today... this doesn't yet make sense.
That's what the circuit breakers are for in the panel.
As for a 2000 watt inverter overloading a 15 amp circuit.I seriously dought that 1.6 amp over will hurt. I have seen lots of overloaded circuit in my time in the trade. It's amazing what 14, 12 or 10 gauge wire will really handle. There's a pretty good margin of safety built into the amp rating of wire.
If you look at the NEC tables it actually says #14 is good for 20 amp but to never put it on anything larger than a 15 amp circuit breaker.
