Let's talk about RV Inverters
Forgive me for being an electrical dummy , but I am... Is there a whole RV Inverter that would allow me to be self contained for a period of time ?? Maybe in place of a Generator ?? please explain the...

People that are new to this stuff often think they can run an inverter and use everything (like a microwave or even AC) in the RV as usual. It often comes as a surpise how quickly the batteries run down. For instance a microwave can deplete a set of 6 volt batteries in as little as 7~10 minutes.
Exactly right. I've been testing, actually using the Samlex PST-UL 2000 since its now hard wire capable (1500 too I think) and its the best I've seen for the money. I think they have an inverter/charger coming out soon too but don't need the charger side. Great units. Regardless, you can't expect an inverter to cool your coach or cook thanksgiving dinner on a pair of batteries.
