As I answered in another post, I won't be running this hard. Its for reliability that I will be getting an inverter of that size. I am pretty sure it will run fine on 2 batteries with my setup, since it will usually only be drawing 150w continuous, with the occasional heavier load. Yes, its sine wave.
This model has a junction box in the generator bay with 4 wires, no way to plug the main cable into it (opposite side of RV). I'll check the routing when I pull the back seat panels and see what's going on.
150W output will be drawing 10A or more out of the batteries. Battery life isn't going to be what you are expecting. My off-the-cuff calculation would be 15 hours at best. Inverters are generally only practical for an hour or two of TV watching in the evening after a day on the road unless you have solar panels or a generator to recharge the batteries every day.
We only use the TV during passing rain showers, otherwise we are outside. After all, that's the point of heading into the woods, right? The only "continuous" load would be the mini-fridge at 96 watts.
