Just keep in mind that a 2000WATT Power Inverter can pull between 160-180DC Amps from your battery bank when fully loaded. This will require HD cabling and more than one standard size batteries. You also want to not plan on using your standard truck alternator in a situation like this when charging... This is alot of DC Amps being drawn...Roy Ken
Our truck produces 357 amps with the OEM "Extra Heavy Duty" alternator that is standard for the vehicle as configured. Of course it cannot get all of that through the 10 gauge and then 8 gauge to the batteries, but more than enough to make up for the draw for the reefer usage.
