Looking at a pure sine wave inverter for the camper. 400W of roof solar, a 230ah LiFePo4 battery and I think a 2000W inverter would be appropriate. What are the suggested brands? Renogy seems to be everywhere. HF has one, BougeRV, the list goes on. A sea of choices. Any help is appreciated. Thanks |

Most simple would just be wiring it off the battery with a fuse, but the transfer switch with wiring to the power panel probably wouldn't be too hard. Can you point me to a diagram of how it all gets wired with solar in place? |
| I have a Renogy 2000W inverter in my trailer. Works perfectly every time I go camping. It has a remote switch that I ran to the door side of the trailer so I can turn it o n and off without having to go to the other side of the trailer. I even got to test the low voltage shutoff feature when we inadvertently ran the batteries down to ~11 volts or so. |

| I find myself wadding into the world of solar now. I would like to use a Victron Mulitplus 2 3000W inverter because it has the switch, charger and pass-through capability. But I’m not ready to buy 400-800 ah of battery yet. I would like to start with one 200ah battery and 200-400w of solar and build from there. Ultimately I would like to be able to run an AC for some time and power the entire rig. I hate buying something now only to replace it within a year or two. |

| I ran an extension cord from my inverter to the power panel and it provides power to three or four outlets inside my trailer. I also have the ability to turn the inverter on and off inside the trailer. It’s really handy. I went with a cheap cobra one because I wasn’t in need of pure sine wave. |
