6 volt vs. 12 volt batteries
I do not want to start a debate I just have a simple question about the equipment my new trailer came with. My previous two trailers had 2 12 volt batteries. My new Keystone Fuzion 301 came with 2 6...

Hi Cooter,
With 1180 watts can you run your roof air from an inverter?
I most certainly could, but my inverter won't start the 15K A/C even though I installed a larger capacitor on it. Neither my Honda EB3500 or Yamaha 2800i will even start it! It must be a power hog.... I find it interesting that I can run it at home on the 15A plug without low voltage, but even that Honda generator with it's rated 23A+ output hates it!
I was toying with a smaller (8-10K) roof unit or a split for the bedroom for those warm/humid nights while on the road, but I really don't want to loose my roof vent or add more weight. As much s I need AC, it really isn't worth it yet.
I'm currently looking into the new 3K Magnum MSH3012M Hybrid inverter that will boost the incoming AC to start that bad boy and give me a little larger charger. My last trailer with a 360watts solar, Freedom 20 inverter, and 4 Trojan T105's would run the 13.5 AC for quite a while.

1180w of solar must be an RV.net record :B
It is the largest RV system I have ever heard of or seen, although I'm sure someone has to have done more somewhere. I'm surprised more people have not noticed in my posts, but I always call it 1.2 KW and I think it confuses everyone!;)
