    Powering a mini split

    Holy Cow!! I think, realistically, that I will need the AC during the day and maybe a few hours at night. I will be chasing nice weather most of the time. But you can't always have nice weather!!!

    Has anyone put a rack on top of a Cargo Trailer? I can't find any videos of it if they have. Mine has a flat roof.

    I believe the pioneer I bought is a 20 seer.

    I literally have no idea what inverter to use. But I do like the 6x350w style panels! And all I have on the roof is a standard vent. Nothing else.

    Yeah I think that’s right. From 900-300. And I would think it would not run near as much at night. I guess the real test will come when I try it! Lol

    LOL!! Sound advice!! I plan to install up to 2000 watts. (that's all I can fit) and the 400ah lithium battery. Carry the generator just in case and we will see! Maybe I will need a second 400ah battery. Who knows.

    I bought the 9000 BTU Pioneer Inverter type. Sheet says 960 Watts Max.

    Yes! correct. Mine is inverter style. Says 9.1 but I know the articles say it goes lower after temp achieved.

    Powering a mini split

    All I will be running is the 9.1Amp split, and it is lower after it reaches a desired temp to about 4 Amp. Also the little fridge is 6.2 I think. and again, not running all the time. Other than that, my lights are LED strip lights and a water pump that kicks on occasionally but not much.
