A big thank you to Mr wizard for the recommendation for the Tripp lite inverter. This is the first trip with it and the big loads run as well as they did on the Psw inverter we used last year.
The big difference is that using the Power Bright cw150 last year had the phone chargers and satellite receiver hot and the TV showed lines at times. That doesn't happen with the Tripp lite even though it is a MSW inverter.
For $200 it is a good alternative to the expense of a PSW sturdy enough to handle the surge of a compressor starting.
Yeah, many dyed in the wool PSW "fans" just don't understand that there IS top notch quality MSW inverter brands. I have used nothing but good quality MSW inverter and UPS brands like Tripplite, APC, Minute man just to name a few out there without burning things up, or lines on TVs, noise in 120V stereo equipment and such.
That Tripplite is built like a brick you know what, it has been from ground up designed to be able to not only run inductive loads but start them reliably. To do that with the cheap MSW AMD PSW imports would require an inverter wattage of two to three times the Tripplite!
Enjoy your Tripplite!
