And you will need to turn the converter off. The battery will supply the 12v power direct.
No I should have been more clear, just the LED TV and lights and low wattage items.
I can probably go to a 1500 watt system actually, 3000 is overkill.
Thanks for all the replies and advice everyone.
Now we are getting somewhere.
You really need closer to 150 to 300 watts. This can be installed by the breaker/fuse panel. Use the main battery connection for 12v power and a small transfer switch or two to connect to the convenience outlet circuits only. This cuts out all issues with the converter etc.
1500 watts is WAY overkill to charge an iphone. The idle draw alone will be more than goes into the device.
