Inverter Charger

Sounds like good advice, thank you. Now let me re-ask the question, What is the latest and greatest charger/converter and the latest and greatest inverter?

The only reason for an inverter/charger is if you need the hybrid type. Otherwise stand alone components are more desirable.

After much discussion and advice last year, I decided to go with a separate ATS (automatic transfer switch), even though my Prosine has a built-in transfer switch with the inverter.

I like this for multiple reasons, one of which is not limiting my shore power load to the amperage of the inverter unit.

I can easily use a smallish or largish inverter and with the 30amp ATS I have...get full 30 amps when plugged into shore power or the generator.

I also like the ability to fully control the inverter state, though I've not had experience with using the in-built version ;)

That being said, I'd agree with the above advice- separate components. Might even find a more frugal unit whose pricing went into "inverter components" instead of ATS components ;)

Check out the Samlex EVO-2212 inverter/charger/transfer switch. They may be new to RVers, but this company has been around for awhile.

I really like their design because of the simple installation. All connections are made at the inverter/charger/transfer switch.
