New inverter needed

I need to replace my 2000 watt Dimensions inverter. It's given me 11 years of good service and I would have no problem replacing it with a good used one if I could find one. I rarely dry camp and when I do it's in a situation where I can run my generator non stop if need be. If I do replace it with a different Brand/model (Magnum MS2000?) I would like for an easy swap and not have to run new cable to controller etc.
Any suggestions, advice and thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • Hi

    Best price on the Magnum would be from Imarine. Be sure to get a hybrid unit.

    I would upgrade to Victron or Outback.
  • Is it not also an Inverter/Charger? If so it's needed to power the 12V side of the house and charge the batteries right?
  • My INverter died last year. It controlled the front TV area, a front outlet and a kitchen outlet by the coffee maker and the 2 bedroom outlets. No power. Checking the prices vs. how often I used it in the past 15 years, (0) I opted to remove it. All I have to remember is not to put a big draw (like a space heater) on that circuit. No biggie.

    Never used it, never needed it.


    That's me.
