2000 watt Inverter generator powers most of the incidentals in the RV via a Progressive Dynamics 9180 with wizard... About the only thing that gave it pause is my 750 watt coffee pot. (long story)

Electric oven et-al (In short almost everything save the fluorescent lamp in the bedroom). 100' 12ga to a 20 15/20 amp outlet (not sure which breaker)
2000 watt Trusine.
For some reason it did not have enough battery power to make coffee in the am but if I hit the BOOSt button on the Wizard I had no tribble.
Did that for about 2 months.
Worked.
