Some useful info here about choosing converters and what generator needed in the Q and As, plus some example specs. Although it is for boats, much of it also applies to RVs (they don't explain VA an...

Iota specs actually do give the VA.Agree on 1428 VA for the 9260. Kudos to Iota for publishing the VA requirement, which indicates their PF is 0.65. I saw that Iota has a 24 volt converter with PF correction. Hopefully it will trickle down to the whole product line. I've seen multiple posts saying that the biggest converter one can run with an eu1000i is 45 amps. Change a converter's PF from 0.7 to 0.9 and for the same input VA the output can go from 45 amps to 58 amps.

The 55 amper wants 1620VA and can pull 15 amps (15 x 108v =1620W)
The PD9260 spec says it wants 1000 watts input and we know it has a 0.7PF so that would be 1428VA required?
