Converters and generators
I have a WFCO Ultra III (WF-8955) converter that requires 950W of input. I'm surprised it takes that much power to run, but maybe I'm missing something. Apparantly a 1000W generator won't provide en...

The next larger size IOTA is 45 amps and is well known to overload a 1000va generator. The PD45 seems to work because the amps sag a bit before the overload happens.
Another good replacement would be the 35 amp PowerMax MBA that should be a direct bolt in WFCO replacement.
PD is also fine to 45 amps and maybe larger if you care to fiddle with the pendent. 9140 with wizard would have no issues with a 1000va gen.
This is an old zombie thread BTW.
Still as relevant today as the day it was started... though, as long as WFCO 8955's keep on getting stuffed in Travel Trailers that don't deliver bulk charging rates like they are supposed to, or turn off of bulk mode charging rate once voltage is reached for taper charge.
I'd like my recharging procedure to be down to 1 hour on the EU1000i in the morning at bulk rate or less, starting at 7am to catch up from the night before in bulk charge, and let the 120 watt portable solar do the rest from 8:30 to 9 AM on until I get back from fishing later in the day. Then another hour on the EU1000I last hour before calling it a night with some reading in bed. LED's will help cut back on my watts sucked on the battery. That's the current goal, the goal posts could move after I see how what I have now works. Still in testing mode.
