why 1500 watt - simply because that is what the internet is saying would run most blenders. idk Inverter size options - 600, 800, 1000, 1500 is what my seller is offering. - I have bought 2 inverters for my other campervans from this Alibaba seller that I really liked. It took me a lot of time...

I love the outside-the-box thinking. The problem is I don't trust the currently modified sine wave inverter to run our two expensive work Macbooks. I am thinking of using an ignition-triggered relay for the second wire to the inverter, the wire from the starter battery that is. Instead of using...

What fuse size did you use on the 750-watt inverter? Ummm, idk what size inverter I would need? All I know is I'm living out of the van for 5-6 months in a country far from anyone I know. No friends or house for me to go do things at. That being said it has already been lived in by a...

Thanks for your post. I think you helped me understand the C rating now. Thank you If I combine what your saying with the battery specs page it seems the slower... or smaller the amps you pull from the battery, the more amps the battery will give you before it dies. So it seems the battery...

Awesome info thank you. What's a "soft start"?

I'm planning to get the pure sine wave inverter regardless. The work macbooks are too expensive and important to risk any damage. Not just the price of the MacBooks but the money lost with not having one. I don't have that much free income hints the 2001 sprinter lol.

Hmm I see my link and format didn't copy over when I copy and pasted my thread from google docs. I just added the battery link and bold formatting back for easier reading. Thanks for the big warm welcome to NZ. I may take you up on the offer of what is to do around that area if I come by. As...

Thanks for the Reply Guppy Hmmm I'm a bit confused: I just did some deeper research on the matter and it seems that people have indeed been running off modified sine wave inverters with no apparent issues. That being said there seems to be at least a couple of people on each forum saying don't...

Goal Live out of our campervan for 5-6 months. We just bought a 2001 Sprinter campervan in New Zealand. We fly into NZ in November from Canada. Currently Campercan System: - 100ah agm battery - 500w modified wave inverter - 90A Voltage-sensitive relay module (13.7 cut in, 12.8v cut out)...

i just bought different wire. 12 gauge of 5 different colours. black and red for dc and white blue and green for ac i don’t want to use black for ac and dc to make it easier for anyone else to figure out what’s going on. a quick look at the fuse box wires will make it clear what the blue is.

Thanks for you reply friend. My options is to use it or toss it. I already cut it before I saw the. "speaker wire" the 10 guage I thought I bought was high quality good stuff. I put the wrong in the cart. This is what I got...

Good day everyone, I ask this question here because I haven't found a trusted source that has answered my safety concern question. You guys I trust know their stuff. I bought a 10 gauge speaker wire by accident. I meant to buy 10 gauge universal wire that can handle 600 volts, to be used used...

putting it in those words makes complete sense. 120 volts on frame is dangerous indeed. i seem to miss that when thinking it over haha.

I have a question that I haven't been able to find on the Internet yet. Why can't I use the vehicle's chassis as inverter's AC neutral, AC Earth ground, and DC negative? I understand why I want my inverter's Earth ground attached to the chassis so I'm doing that. I understand the wire...

Thanks Pete, I will. :)
