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.
