For 8 years I worked at Heart Interface, 5 years of that was in the sales/tech support department. I talked to a lot of customers during those 5 years. I attended at least 5 FMCA rallies too, doing service calls. Xantrex bought all three major inverter manufacturers that existed in the Pacific NW in about 2001 or so. The swallowed up Heart, Trace and Statpower.
Heart had a LOT of inverters in many, many DP coaches. Heart was the primary OEM supplier of inverters. All they had at the time was MSW.
Everything worked fine on MSW for the most part. Some brands of microwaves wouldn't keep proper time on MSW. Dewalt tool charger from that era (1995-1999) would cook themselves on MSW power, Makita charges always worked fine.
Some brands of CPAP machines had power supplies that didn't like MSW.
Those are the only things I recall as far as issues with MSW.
If you equipment works fine on MSW now, and you'd rather have a larger inverter at a lower cost, then go MSW.
