I need a portable inverter. 1000 - 1250 Watts
A bit of a dilemna when boondocking and it's time for morning coffee.... I get up early most of the time, sometimes 5:30, but usually around 6. I like to make a coffee and sit in bed with the blind...

A note on the Can Tire 3000w. I plug the shore power cable via 15a adapter into one of its three receptacles and get "whole house" and I can run the microwave (125ish amps draw from batts) etc never a problem.
Recently I started enough 120v items that the draw hit 200 amps on the Trimetric and suddenly everything quit. Turned out to be the 15a receptacle on the 3000w with its CB button popped out. After unplugging some 120v items, pushed in the button and back in business.
So lesson is, you need to use a second receptacle for the extra items that will overload that one receptacle.
