You're also missing the point, Don.
Bigger inverter implies not using shore power assist, which would therefore require more/bigger batteries.
Hi Cptn,
Nope. I'd never buy an inverter/charger that did not allow load support or shore power assist. It is FAR to convenient a feature to give up.
I actually down sized my battery bank once I had the Magnum unit.
On the other hand--I started with just a 2500 watt inverter and "limited" my power use by only plugging in the converter (about 800 watts). I'd plug the shore power cord into the inverter and do "double conversion".
I still have that ability as some gfci circuits do not play well with the Magnum 3000 hybrid inverter charger.
That "feature", the STUPID decision to use 120 volt cooling fans, and HUGE input surge are why I do NOT recommend the Magnum.
