If your convertor is putting out 55A at 12V, that's 660W on the DC side. If the AC side is 950W, that's a low efficiency of 69.5%. I question the 950 number. Did you see this in a spec sheet? Measure it?
The 290W difference would be dissipated as heat if the efficiency is really so low.
If I set the stat too low, my Polar Cub will ice up and stop cooling.
Glad I bookmarked it. The 950 was from the Progressive Dynamics website. Here is a link to it. It says efficiency >80%

The PD4655LIV for lithium batteries puts out 14.6 and not what the chart says.
And the Honda eu3000i weighs in at 130 pounds. I would like to also know if there is a lighter version.
And thanks for the comments about my wife. This is going to be a long winter of solitude. I miss her more than anything.
I ordered the Micro-air easy start this morning. Looks like a really good product. I wish I could go camping and sit and enjoy a stout cup of coffee in the Bigfoot. We really enjoyed it this summer.
