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...

Magnum does not recommend running a roof air conditioner from their 3000 watt inverter/chargers.
Going to 4000 watts means moving to a 24 or better yet a 48 volt battery bank. Then use a DC to dc converter to power the (low) 12 volt loads, or just use the OEM converter.
Wouldn't increasing to 24 or 48 volts require more batteries to reach the same capacity? I believe I would need twice number the batteries at 24 volts to get the same number of amp hours as a 12 volt setup. I plan on mounting the inverter right next to the batteries and using big fat cables to minimize heat.
