Why won't my inverter put out?
I feel there should be a 'That's what she said' joke in here somewhere... I booked a camping site that I thought had hookups, but when I got here: no hookups. I needed more juice than my house ...

Once you have shore power, where the house batts are getting charged, try that inverter clamped on the house batts and the freezer as only load. This should resolve whether that freezer needs PSW or if it can run on MSW but just needs enough DC input to the inverter.
I'm worried that would kill the house battery. I have previously killed several 66aH agm batteries with brief 100amp loads, before I figured out I needed bigger batteries for that job. I think someone upthread said the freezer could have a 600amp startup surge?
A 600amp draw would equate to a 6000w surge. Doubt that! Won't kill the battery anyway. That is what the inverter shut off at 11v is for. It protects the battery from being drawn right down.
