Okay, I got my batteries, an excellent deal too, and that doesn't happen to me often. I have 4-12-volt 200ah, to be configured into 24-volts at 400ah. Check.
Now for Inverter, solar charge controller, and charger. I think I found some panels at SunTan Solar, but that's for another thread. Next, I'm doing the Inverter. So, I'm an old fart, retired, and will be living in this 28-foot class C RV. That's the ones on an E-350, etc. I have a rooftop and window unit. I use one or the other depending on the season and climate. Other than that, there's the microwave, a ten cu ft fridge, TV, coffee maker, and occasionally an air compressor, small, and pressure washer. I also have one of those little Boat/RV washers with a spin-drier (high-speed slinger) to do cloths. I've narrowed it down to the Giandel 24-volt 4kw and the Reliable (WZRELB) 24-volt 4kw. These seem to be the popular units within my budget range; seven out of ten were more than happy. I'm not rich, and I know it's not tier 1, okay. My question is, how many of you have these units or something similar, and what's your thoughts/experience. Now, I'm listening if someone has other options in the same price range, but it has to fit my budget. As mentioned, I still need to get a charge controller for 1400 watts at 24-volts and a battery charger when on the generator or shore power.
