Just got a 3000W inverter for my MH. It’s only to run outlets and maybe the microwave on the road. I only have 2 batteries, but will never pull the full wattage. It when it comes time for batteries I’m thinking 3 100Ah LifePo batteries.
ya I am building my own LiFePO4 so using 320AH cells which is great for the amount of capacity available from one battery , but to get a good quality BMS that will handle 3000 watts gets a little pricy. Im already going higher than my last battery by using a 150amp bms. my original plan was to use a 120 and save 30 bucks but I decided when I build a second one they will handle a 3000 watt inverter no problem so for the 5th wheel they will run cool on a 2000 watt inverter.
I was also looking at the smaller inverter waist less power while they are on but not being used so there is a efficicency thing I am looking at also.
