Expert Answers about RV Power Inverter


  • Inverter Generator that is Comparable to Discontinued etrailer 3,200 Watt Inverter Generator
  • I do have an option for you, but the etrailer 3,200 watt inverter generators are no longer available. The A-iPower 3,800-Watt Portable Inverter Generators # 289-SUA2000i-2 are a great comparable option as well though. The A-iPower 3,800-Watt Portable Inverter Generators # 289-SUA2000i-2 will be 3,800 watts and 3,000 running watts, opposed to the 3,200 watts and 2,900 running watts that the etrailer generators were. The The A-iPower 3,800-Watt Portable Inverter Generators # 289-SUA2000i-2...

  • Are Power Inverter With Continuous Power Modified Sine or Pure Sine Wave?
  • Continuous power does not mean modified or pure sine wave. If you have a specific model you are looking at, I can help further. For instance, the Power Inverter 1000 Watts with Three AC Receptacles # WC3720 says continuous power and is a Modified Sine Wave AC Output waveform. Some of the sample applications are even confusing as they are often used as Pure Sine wave applications, but based on the size are adequate.

  • Difference Between Generators With or Without an Inverter
  • The difference between a generator that has an inverter, like part # 289-SUA2000i-2, and a generator that doesn't have an inverter, like part # 333-0004, is that the inverter makes it so that the generator can supply power for both AC and DC applications. Generators without the inverter can only supply AC power (like for typical household use). The inverter generators also tend to provide cleaner power and are a little lighter as well. The generators with built-in inverters are extremely...

  • Go Power Solar Elite 2,000 Watt Inverter or Go Power Solar Extreme 3,000 Watt Inverter
  • Both systems are certainly practical, it really just completely depends on your power consumption, with the Solar Extreme kit being the highest available, and something that you would need if you used quite a bit of power. You'll need to know how many amp-hours of battery you use, either through some math with the appliances you use, or by testing it out with a battery monitor. I have added a link below to a help article I recommend checking out that has some details on how to go about...

The generator has a total harmonic distortion of 25 percent which means it would not be ideal for sensitive electronics such as a flat screen TV or computer. The inverters only have a total harmonic...

  • Comparing 50-Amp RV Service to 30-Amp RV Service, 4-Prong Plug Vs. 2-Prong
  • The Mighty Cord RV Power Cord Adapter, # A10-3050D90VP is used to adapt your RV's 4-prong 50-amp power inlet for use with a 30-amp 3-prong extension cord/Power Pedestal. A 50-amp plug has four prongs with two of them providing 50-amps of power each. But the 30-amp RV service with 3-prongs only has one prong of power, one power wire from the 50 amp is not used. The big difference to note between 50-Amp RV service and 30-amp RV service is that the 30-amp RV set-up provides a nominal 3,600...
