Hi Guys, first my appreciation for your expertise and generous time to share it with we novices. OK I do have an Inverter. It was hiding from me in the muddle as I am getting ready to go full time and boxes everywhere. It is an older model from the mid 90's by Wagan Tech. Model 9928 600 mod sw. I checked it out and my first thought was that the fan was really noisy. This will work for my current system. I did look at the Xantrex. I think it was AnEve who shared pics of his monster Xantrex. My bad on this string because in reading your responses, I remembered my study which said always mount inverter as close to the batt and use extension cords on the AC side if needed. If fact it's printed like that in the Wagan Tech instructions...
Your response also brings up another question but I'll stick it in a seperate text box....
