300w vs 500w inverter question
The television in our TT is a 32" Jenson that runs on 110v only. I have both 300w and 500w inverters, and both have proven to power the tv on battery power alone. Other than the obvious (the 50...

Measure the standby power draw of both. Perhaps one uses less power in standby mode.
Very possible, but I am willing to bet at those sizes they will probably be within a few milliamps of each other. If we were talking a 300w vs a 1500w, the difference would be greater and the choice would be much easier :)
I'm not entirely confident inverter capacity has anything to do with stand by power consumption. The quality of construction and corresponding price point I believe may be a larger factor. My xantrex 1800 MSW was labeled as 750ma in stand by. I installed without using the pass thru function and stand by current was near nonexistent.
