Pure sinewave inverters w/remote. I personally have had 3, and still use 2 of the 3.
I had the Xantrex Prosine 2.0 charger/inverter combo in my TC. I replaced it with the Magnum 3,000 Hybrid inverter /charger combo because of it's ability to pair with a Honda Generator and provide surge power from battery to help the Honda. It also has an auto-switch to battery in case the shore power goes out or the genny runs out of gas.
I also have the Xantrex Prosine 1800 in my Wells Cargo trailer backed up with 3 of it's own AGM batteries on 600 watts solar.
But, that being said....
I feel for the money vs. your need, the Xantrex Prosine 1000 should be your choice, for multiple reasons--
* Pure sinewave of course - you can run an electric blanket all night...;-)--and they don't actually draw much. Modified sinewave inverters are not compatible with electric blankets. I've tried.
* Coffee makers generally draw 900 watts. Awful nice to just flip a switch and make a pot. RV Microwaves may or may not run off of it, some are 900, some are 1,100.
* Very easy to wire, and a couple different options for the remote on/off - a simple switch or a switch with LCD volt/amp draw status.
* Good warranty - 2 years P&L
* US Company and support - Elkhart Indiana, the home planet for the RV industry.
I've done a LOT of tinkering with various inverters and inverter/chargers over the years. If money were no object I would unequivocally say get a Magnum - Made in the USA, Everett WA. Great people to meet and talk to, and a great product. But my Magnum 3,000 ran about $1,800.
