To the OP, it depends on what you're going to use the inverter to power. In my case, I use a 300w Samlex PSW inverter to power only the tvs and maybe a dvd player. For this use the 300w inverter is kind of the sweet spot. I, and several other members on this board have the inverters 120v output wired to a receptacle and plug the shore cord into the receptacle, powering all the outlets in the trailer. I turn off the converter/charger, and everything else except the breaker that powers the AC outlets in the trailer. This keeps wiring to a minimum and reduces cost quite a bit.
Yes I could do that as well, the problem is my Girl remembering to do this every time and then remembering to turn back on the breakers for the charger when the battery drains.
I just need to find a dual 15 amp breaker with an input terminal as I won't be able to power it off the main power source. I don't know where to find such a breaker though.
