Hi,

Having gone through the decision making process, one reason I chose the 3000 watt Magnum was because it offers blended power from shore and battery bank at the same time.

While a 2000 watt would run any single device in my RV I did wish to run two large items at once. For example the water heater (1200 W) and roof air (1200 W), or microwave (1591 W).

I don't believe in running electronic devices flat out--so 3000 watts gives me a lot more cushion than 2000 watts.
