what size inverter.

Ok so building another battery and I am wondering what the smallest size inverter people would run in a camper.

I am thinking if I get a 1500 watt inverter and if I decide to put a microwave in at some point then get a smaller 700 watt one. is a 1500 watt inverter practicle for most normal stuff?

the reason I am looking at that size is that is about a 125 amp draw so I can go with a 150 amp BMS and not be running flat out.

  • We had a 2000 watt inverter in our 2001 Alpenlite with 4 batteries. I would not want less than 2000 watts. chevman
  • I have a 300 watt inverter for my TVs, stereo and phone charging. I wouldn't go any smaller.
