I recently added Xantrex XC2000 817-2080 Inverter/Charger w/Auto Xfr switch plus Victron BMV-712, MPPT-100/50 Solar Chgr.. I rewired my Main panel so everything can run off batteries(4-AGM’s) from XC2K. It’s a more functional electrical system now.

Some are afraid of running a generator short term. I did it all the time on a boat.

Absolutely. And it is not unusual for us to run the generator in the afternoon so we can run the microwave.

But the problem for us is that we are often either in campgrounds where the quiet hours (ie, no generators) extends until late in the morning or in which no generators are allowed at all. We have been using propane to heat water at those places but it take a long time and heats up the interior of the RV. The electric kettle is faster and does not heat the surrounding areas nearly as much.
