Do you have an inverter fitted in your motorhome?

If you do have one what do you have installed?

Pure or modified sinewave?

What size is it?

 

[izwozral]

2000w modified sine wave. It was free & have had no problem with any appliance run off it.

new to this

why to i need an inverter ?

 

[wildman]

I have a 150W inverter used to charge those items I cannot get a 12v charger for.

Our last van, which in a previous life was a radio van, came with a small invertor, went with the van and haven't bothered buying a new one. The only item we need mains for is gf's camera battery which if we needed to would mean being on EHU once a month.

i have a 1kw mod and a 1kw pure inverter/.
used to have a 2kw mod inverter but after about 8 years it packed up.
only got the pure sin one because modern 240v fridges are fussy .
only thing i have found that is.

I have a pure sine wave 1600W used for large draw appliances and sensitive equipment, I use a 150W modified sine wave for my 240v TV equipment and I also have a 300W modified sine wave fitted under the passenger seat used for the slow cooker when travelling a long distance (it is safely in a box nearby)

Ours isn't fitted, it plugs into a socket in the hab area, and is used for phone , camera etc.

 

[kingfisher1]

1500w pure sine used for the bosses hairdryer and my dolcia gusto coffee machine linked to a single 200 amp agm battery over the years everything else has been changed to 12 volt

 

[shortcircuit]

3000 w modified sine, wired in, used for hair drier. Originally fitted to include microwave which it runs but never used
150 w modified sine wired in. Used for tv and chargers for phones, laptop, tablets etc
In addition two, 150w modified sine with cigarette type plugs used to power tablet when driving. IPad mini used for SatNav which drains battery.

Have yet to have any device that needs "pure sine" which I consider is just sales hype. (Having an electrical background I do understand the differences)

 

[oppy]

300w modified from Maplins, charges laptop & electric shaver plus powers 'Oppy's famous disco lazer:rockroll::rockroll::rockroll::rockroll:

 

[Wooie1958]

Yes, Sterling Pro Power Q 350 watt Quasi-sine-wave.

It happily runs all the electrical items i need it to without any problems what so ever :dance:

Sounds like mine. Bought cheap from Maplin and does all I need.
My son powered his laptop with it to do some video editing in the back of our Scenic while we drove the 700 mile round trip to Cornwall.

Modified sine wave will not run the machine

 

[vwalan]

:yeahthat:

The same But a 1000W wired in, for the toaster.

 

[campervanannie]

I have a 300w and a 600w no idea if they are sinwave or not the 600 is wired to the leisure battery.

 

[sparrks]

Cheap 300w modified sine wave to charge the camera batts and to power the soldering iron.

Electric toothbrushes don't work with modified sine wave, it doesn't just not work it blows the charger, once you have tried it doesn't work any more even on mains electric, Tassimo and a few other coffee machines don't work on modified sine wave but it doesn't damage them

We have small plug in for charging ebikes laptop and any thing else not 12v 300w modified cheap from maplins
