As the title states, I have a new Patriot X1 GT camper with dual lithium battery, 200w solar panel option, vehicle charging via anderson plug when towing and the Redarc BMS30 w/ Redvision TVMS.
Originally I was going to go with a Xantrex PROwatt600 or the 1000w inverter but now my wife continues to talk about a coffee maker. So knowing she will be much happier not having to boil water or spend time prepping the coffee, was thinking of getting her the Keurig K-Mini Plus (single cup) which states it uses 1425watts. So sounds like I’ll need to look at the 2000w model? Hate to spend that coin for something to power a coffee maker, I don’t drink coffee, but happy wife happy life as the saying goes.
Cant imagine anything else I’d need to power using that many watts while camping. I could easily get away with a smaller inverter for drone batteries, macbooks, phones etc..
The TVMS which I can control (turn functions on/off) from the panel or my iphone is only able to communicate with the Redarc inverters, so Id have to install a seperate on/off remote switch to only turn the inverter on for coffee making.
Any other ideas besides leaving the wife at home and just taking the dogs camping?
