Keystone Bullet Premier
We are seriously looking at buying a 31BHPR. It pretty much has everything we are looking for in a TT, the only cons we can think of with it is, it has curtains instead of solid doors for the bedroom ...

I have a 31bhpr and would like to install an inverter. In my last TT I installed a 3000w inverter/charger but was not happy with it. It was a modified sine wave inverter and did not run the microwave correctly (I know it drains the batteries fast, but 45 seconds to warm up coffee was it's main use). It also had a 35 amp charger for the batteries, so when I was using my Honda 2000 generator, it didn't have enough power to both charge the batteries and run the microwave. It was nice though to have every plug working on the inverter.
So..... I am considering installing a pure sine wave inverter/charger but don't like the idea of running 00 gauge wires again from the battery bank back to the shore power cord area (that's a long run for the DC cables). Do I install it in the front storage compartment, then run the shore plug wires up front to the inverter/charger, then back to the AC panel? If so, what's the easiest access to the storage area? (we still have some snow on the ground up here and I don't have access to the TT right now)
Or do I just run 6/8 gauge wires to both TV areas fused, directly from the batteries and have smaller inverters there? I could not get 4 different 300w cigarette plug style inverters to power the front TV, they would just fail each time I turned the TV on. I'm guessing the wiring to the plug wasn't sufficient enough. Just trying to figure out how to run the two TV's and have some power without the generator running. Thanks for any ideas.
