My 400 watt pure sine wave inverter will not handle the compressor starting, so that idea is scrapped. It was not a big deal anyway. I did not want to go larger than 400 watts since I had to use the #6 AWG DC feeds behind the converter and they are 15 feet from the battery. I calculated that 60 watts on the DC side was the max I wanted to be drawing. The inverters main job is providing power for my CPAP, my laptop & printer, and running the 120v TV. Since I RV mainly in Mexico, shore power is not reliable. It cuts in and out according to my surge guard protector. For this reason I also needed a pass through inverter that auto switches. The Power is on enough to keep the bar fridge cold when hooked up, if I don't open the door too much. In most places it shuts on & off during the night as my surge guard detects too low or too high a voltage.
