Why would you put a power inverter in a camper?
What is the point of putting a power inverter in my toy hauler? I see other people putting power inverters in their campers.

It depends on what you want to use, and how you camp. My first TT some 35 years ago had a hand pump for the sink, gas powered mantel type lamp, catalytic type heater and built in ice chest. No battery and no power cord. Most of my subsequent rigs were used mostly for remote dry camping and I didn't use an inverter. My current rig requires AC power for the recliners to work, needs AC for the stove vent fan which is part of the microwave, needs AC for the televisions etc. Since it doesn't have any DC outlets I also just decided to go the easy route and use AC power for my Bipap machine. I ended up installing two inverters on auto transfer switches that power all my outlets. 1 is a 600 watt unit that is sufficient for most things we run, and a 2000 watt unit I just use for short duration high power usage such as the microwave, wifes hair dryer, or the coffee pot should we decide to go Kurig that day.
