I am new but reading a lot. Just want to clarify about the inverter on my coach. The purpose of an inverter is to take battery DC power and convert it to A/C power so your A/C appliences can use it right? Then, I only need this feature when not hooked to shore or generator power right? If that is the case, I really only need my inverter when driving from point A to point B right? Now, if I plan on Boondocking which I think means no hookups what so ever, then it may be better to have a larger one in that situation so not to have to use the genset at night disturbing the neighbors.
My question stems from the fact that I will only have a 600 watt inverter. I know its on the smallish side but if all the above holds true then I should be fine as i don't plan on cooking a meal or blowdrying my hair while driving down the road. It is kind of expensive to change them out I read and since it is small, it may not be wired in to every electrical device on the coach so replacing with a bigger unit still won't run everything.
any input or advice, words of wisdom.
Thanks.
