#4 would be the minimum for the 2 foot run.
1000 watt inverter will or could draw over 80 amps on the 12 volt DC side.
A smaller inverter for running TV/VCR and other audio/visual could be used. An inverter in the 250-400 watt range.
What do you plan to run in the kitchen? 1000 watts in that area goes really fast.
Don't forget to install fusing!
i really dont have a "use" for the inverter at the moment. its a samlex pure sign wave..and a gift sooooo its there just in case as of this point.
the only ac plugs in the rv now are 1 in kitchin..one for fridge which will be propane 99% of the time, one behind tv and one exterior.
the exterior and fridge are still on the distribution pannel and genny.
the tv is 12 volt so that one may be used to recharge aa etc batteries.
althought i could see putting in a sound bar for the tv..hmmm
the ultimate dream is to cut the shore power cord so to speak.
this is a 19 foot class b and the GF and i are pretty simple power wise.
thanks
