We picked up the new RV... 2017 Cougar 26' Travel Trailer and now are having our solar installed. Had a system on the last one and loved it... So... we were going to do 160 watts on the roof again with controller inside, just like this. http://gpelectric.com/products/overlander-solar-kit. I had purchased a 300 watt modified sin inverter to just put into the cig. lighter to run TV last time. It worked, but not great. This time I was thinking I wanted a 600 watt GP-sw600 with 600 output and has a 860 surge watts... this http://gpelectric.com/products/600-watt-pure-sine-wave-inverter and has to have some cable with it...
Today I am looking at the GoPower site and I see this package. Yes it is 650 more... and NO we are not installing... labor about the same..

I am wondering about the jump to a 1500, I know it will run more.. probably not my ac or coffee pot... so what am I gaining. And explain this transfer switch that is included in this package...
I have already sweet talked the other half into adding the 600 Watt pure sine wave inverter... not sure I can stretch it out for the extra boost..
We do have generator and hate to use it.. We do camp a lot with no hookups, probably 85% of the time. We rarely need Ac as we camp at 6000' and above generally. The 600 will charge my laptop. Don't need to charge phones, dog collar and anything else USB our RV has charging station for those...
Thanks! Know a lot of you know LOTS about this solar, switches, etc.

PS. We are putting on two 6 volt batteries...
