When I upgraded from my 1000W Inverter, my research led me to this as an affordable Inverter with decent review feedback - Edecoa 2500W Peak 5000W Power Inverter Pure Sine Wave DC 12V to 240V AC with LCD Display Remote Control - Green: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike. It is working pretty nicely on various power tools and my 2kW Induction Hob.As title states were after a good quality 3kw sine wave inverter, anybody have one, or best sort/place to get one. Cheers Sue.

The same company have variations in terms of larger (and smaller!) Models and both Pure and Modified Models (you haven't actually said which type you are looking for?)
PS. When you are talking about an inverter of the size you are after, the installation and power source becomes essential to get right as you would draw a massive current if you are using at the full rated power. What are you needing to run?
2kW kettle wouldn't work with a 3kW Peak Inverter. Peak is for power spikes - so just a few seconds at most usually. If you are drawing a constant 1kW (really? that is like using up the available power of a 100Ah battery every hour!) and add in a 2kW kettle on top for say 3 minutes, you need a 3kW continuous rated Inverter.After pure sine wave for an American RV, which currently has a 12v to 110 inverter but 3kw peak would be sufficient, its mainly for 2kw kettle plus 1kw constant.
Do you have gas in your Yank Tank?
Getting a big inverter and all it's paraphernalia, seems an expensive way of making a cuppa?
You're better off installing a Gas-it refillable system..at a WC member's discount.

That’s an expensive way to boil a kettle as wel Paul
Surely not, Neil ? Say £500, tops for a gas kit ? Autogas ...dirt cheap, really ?
3kw inverter... Plus Extra for pure sine wave £..? + Solar panels and extra batteries.. +heavy duty wiring... All written off over how many weeks usage?
If we knew how many weeks per year and how much sunshine the panels could use, we could easily do the sums?
My money would be on a gas system, though.

It's a Coachman RV, and it has a big generator onboard, large battery bank, all wired up with 12v to 110v inverter, with solar panels. Used for full timing, usually has ehu, but wants the mains for when he is occasionally off site. Thanks for all the help guys, much appreciated.
