Yes, we have a 2800 watt magnum inverter that powers the entire camper. I believe you will see too much voltage sag with only 2 group 27 batteries.
This thread got me looking at inverters again and this post had me looking at Magnums... pricey.
I have a some questions for those who have added inverters to their TCs.
A. Where did you put the inverter and why?
B. What would you do differently?
C. Is it worth getting an inverter with a builtin transfer relay switch?
D. What inverters should I absolutely avoid?
I mounted the inverter in the battery compartment. The battery bank is in the genset compartment. The inverter has a transfer switch eliminating the need for the stock transfer switch. I recommend magnum and victron for large inverters. Aims is reported to be good unit as well and less pricey.
