That three amps of AC is 30A of DC to the inverter.
The fridge doesn’t run 24 hours a day and very little at night but that energy does need replaced.
Not a nay sayer, I wouldn’t hesitate to own an all electric coach, although I love gas cooktops.
This is very true! An induction cook top can use 1500 watts per burner! That is a massive load on the batteries.
I would have never thought a range would be powered from the inverter, just as the ac's aren't and we do have a genset for this, so needing it for the range, wouldn't be any different. Besides, anyone who boondocks and without a small generator on board for battery charging, needs to run it for some hours, each day, anyway and we usually choose dinner time for doing so and maybe mornings, as well.
