By the way, here in Brazil we only have Xantrex. I am almost buying 2 x 3000 watts Xantrex XPower. One on and another as back-up.
Is that a good choice? What is the downside?

When we purchased our boat she had an older Xantrex inverter. We needed a pure sine wave model, so I researched and spoke with some independent dealers and electronics guys that simply said about Xantrex "do not buy that Chinese crap". They stated inferior parts, poor QC, and poor engineering. This all, I believe, since the manufacturing was moved to China years ago.
They all recommended Outback or Magnum as superior in every way, not the least of which was customer service should you need it. We went with a Magnum 2000W inverter/100a smart charger and are very happy with it. Could you get one online from the US or a nearby country?
