As the recent topic(s) have included onboard computing power, clean power is
essential.
I've been using (abusing) a 1200watt HeartInterface inverter for over 10
years. It's on constantly as I have added powerbars, etc that I run the
computers with, i.e. built-in circuits that are inverted 110V.
If you'r thinking inverter, I would recommend DO NOT get an inverter/charger
combination unless there is a manual switch-over mode. If it switches on
sensing AC you will not be on inverter when GenSet is running or shorepower
in use... and that's when you want it most of all
To keep the coach battery charged I use 2 30amp solid state chargers
purchased moons ago from Caspro. These chargers replace the trickle
charger/converter that is part of the coach. I simply unplugged it.
A note re powerbars. If you're using a powerbar downstream of the inverter
use a PLAIN powerbar, i.e. no built in surge suppression.
Throwin' it out there for what it's worth
