Upgrade to Xantrex Xm1800

I have an Xantrex XM1000 and would like to upgrade to the 1800. Wife wants to use K-cup coffee maker without starting generator. 1000 just does not hack it.
Anyone done this on the Adventurer and were there any issues? Looks to be plug and play but that can be misleading.....as the RV burns to the ground!

My 2017 Adventurer 37F came with a 2000w Magnum inverter charger and as you’d expect it runs the Kcup just fine. Runs the microwave, too just not at the same time.

I can’t speak personally about any wiring issues you might encounter but you might try contacting WBGO Customer Support. They would have electrical diagrams and know if the coach was wired for optional larger inverters back in 2016 as a standard measure.

Inverter upgrade

I upgraded my 1000 watt inverter to 1800 watts. Don't need to change wire size from inverter to loads, it's 14 gauge. Good for 15 amps, which is the output of the new inverter. In process of changing feed from inverter to more circuits. Only fed 6 outlets before.

The physical size appears to be the same with the 1800 weighing more of course. They list a different remote panel for each and they recommend a different size dc fuse as well.

Interesting but the specifications I found state otherwise.

Just went and measured, XM1000 is 11 inches long, XM1800 15.5 inches. I measured the case, so not sure where the 12.9" comes from.
