50 Amp Receptacle to Inverter
Hello all! Ok, so backstory is I'm doing research on installing a 3000w inverter in my travel trailer, and rather than go through a super complicated and expensive direct to panel wire install, I'm...

To exploit 3000w vs 2000w, you would pull 300 amps discharge from the battery bank vs 200 amps. How long you would do that depends on the size of the bank.
Using Lithium batts for this is the same. An amp is an amp and an AH is still an AH. ISTR they have limited discharge rates even if higher. 100 amps per 100AH ? So you will still need say three or four 100 AH batts AFAIK. Big bucks!
So IMO you could do just as well with a simple 2000w inverter, hard wired or not, and save a bundle getting AGMs instead of Li.
