This might be a dumb question but...what is the difference between a regular generator and an inverter generator?
Would you connect them to a trailer differently?
I mean, as far as I understand, a regular generator will provide AC to the trailer and charge the battery, but an inverter will take DC power and turn it into AC.
So is an inverter generator simply both a regular generator plus an inverter? or...?
You will get better technical answers soon. The inverter generator produces a cleaner power, less likely to fry computer or damage TVs etc. A stand along inverter will allow you to run 110 household items using battery reserve capacity. I have inverter generator by Yamaha and don't use any battery energy, except to run my 12 volt systems. Generator provides clean reliable power to run my entire trailer and recharge batteries!
