Inverter install (From TapaTalk Forum)

I installed a Aims 2500 watt inverter in the front storage compartment.  I had a 1500 watt inverter and upgraded to the Aims unit.  I got the idea from Timcar’s post.  I chose the Aims because of the features;

• 2500 watt continuous
• 7500 watt surge for 20 seconds 300% surge capability (don’t use the surge mode often)
• AC direct connect terminal block
• GFCI outlet
• Marine coated and protected
• Multi stage smart charger 85 A
• LCD or LED remote panel available (LED available in Dec.)
• Thermal and load based fan
• Low voltage recovery
• Power save mode
• Auto frequency
• 10msec typical transfer time
• Optional 25W power save mode
• 7 battery type settings for charger.

I wanted to install it in the front storage area but the back wall wouldn’t support the weight.  I added 1 inch square tubing along the back wall to mount the Aims to.  I wished I had a mig welder, I had to use self drilling screws.

The main reason for the upgrade was to support a residential refridgerator.  My old inverter wouldnt have supported it And futureexpansion and the auto switch feature I upgraded to Aims.

I carry a 10 amp air compressor and the surge feature will start the compressor when I need it.

The Aims will auto switch between shore power and inverter power.
