Which Inverter?

For us the best way to make our coffee when camping off-grid is to use the generator. It is just too big a draw on the batteries to use a very high wattage Inverter.

Earlier this year I installed a 1000 watt true sine wave inverter in our TT's front pass through storage compartment and wired it "whole house" to power the entire trailer simply by plugging the trailer's main service cable into it. I installed it primarily for running 120 vac fans but since discovered it works just fine for running a 2-slot toaster rated at 650 watts or this 4-cup Cuisinart Coffee Maker rated at 550 watts. It won't run my wife's hair dryer on HIGH but has no difficulty at all running it on LOW. Since I had originally only intended to use the inverter for running fans I never bothered to upgrade my single 7 yr old G27 Interstate battery but found it powered the inverter just fine anyway even when subjected to substantial draw from the toaster or coffee maker. Next year I'll likely upgrade to one or two G31s but in the meantime this combination of a 1000 watt inverter and G27 battery works just fine for the purpose and the advantage is I can now enjoy coffee & toast when I first get up but it's far too early in the day to be running a genset.
