Hi all!
This thread has some really good information so I thought I would try to bring it back to life rather than start the whole discussion over again.
I have a 1991 Roadtrek Class B with two Trojan T-105 batteries and I want to get a 2000W inverter for it. Why? To make coffee with a Keurig when I'm in the US. I'd also use it for watching movies with a TV and built-in DVD player but that's under 100W so not too worried about that. We don't use the microwave or anything else that's AC in the van.
Is this feasible from a practical point of view? The Keurig coffee makers are 1500 Watts and it would be run for about 10 minutes before recharging the batteries while driving.
I "think" I want a combo inverter/charger as the van still has the original Progressive Dynamics single stage charger. It would also provide an automatic transfer which is nice.
That being said, does anybody have experience with running a coffee maker on just a pair of batteries and a 2000W inverter? What are the preferred inverter/chargers people are using these days?
Cheers, Steve
