What to look for in an inverter/charger?
We recently bought a new fifth wheel (see sig) and now I need to research inverters. About twelve years ago we had a Xantrex Freedom 458 installed in our Toy Hauler. It was fantastic and it never ga...

I will divide it into two groups
Inverter portion:
True sine wave, if you want ALL outlets powered you need to be thinking the 3,000 watt range,, NOTE this much inverter needs at least 3 pair of GC-2 DEEP CYCLE batteries, more would be nice. But True Sine is important.
Converter Portion: 3 Stage with optional equalization (manually invoked)
Programmable so if you change battery type, You can re-program.
Informative remote display.
That about covers it (Informative means voltage (both sides 12 and 120 volt) and current (likewise) as well as error codes and modes) 120 voltage should be both IN and OUT, current needs only be out.
