"We are talking about a MINIMUM of four series/parallel six volt golf cart batteries, no more than 2' of #1/0 copper cable (3,000 watt inverters use twin cables for each pole) and the batteries floating at around 6.6 volts each to provide 13.2 volts series/parallel. Note this is an additional 350 pounds of dead weight to carry in the trailer not including the inverter and vented case for the batteries."
*Well, no problem there...I already have six Energizer GC-2's installed as a battery bank(675 total amp hrs) inthe rear of my MH. All fused at 150 amp/pair, wired in series/parallel with 4 gauge for 12 volt power. The longest run being 2'leading from battery terminals of each pair to power distribution blocks, ready for 2' of 1/0 wire to install the inverter of choice.
-Hmmm....$400 for a decent AIMS #PWRINV5000W modified sine wave with a 5000 continous and 10,000 watt peak/surge. (which might mess with my radio reception and LCD tv working properly...)
(or)
-$474 for a Sunforce# 112460 pure sine wave with a 2500 continous and 5000 peak/surge.
