which inverter and why? 3000 watt pure sine wave
Hi, I'm considering upgrading the MSW 2500 watt inverter. Which 3000 watt (12 volt input) inverter would you pick and why?

Hi westend,
Yes, including the air conditioner.
24 volts is, unfortunately, not a path I wish to take. That would require lots of extra items. I do know it works well for 20ldman.
What I do now, in low power situations, is run just the converter from shore power, and run the rest of the RV from the Cobra 2500 watt (who, lie about capacity sorta kinda, as it will do 2500 watts for 30 minutes--and then must have a rest). I'm uncomfortable running the roof air on the Cobra MSW even though it is rated for motor use.
When on the genny I can't run roof air and water heater at the same time--but due to the way my mods are I *can* run the converter, and air conditioner, and run the hot water off the inverter. That's doubly nice for it means the solar panels and alternator provide part of the load for the water heater.
My ideal inverter would be either 3600 watts or else "stackable" to get to 3600.

Do you plan to use the inverter to power your whole rig?
