I have been advised to yank my generator as it sat for 10 years without running, it in a difficult to service location, and is generally overkill for my needs. The idea pitched to me was to install an inverter for use when shore power is unavailable. The only draw would be the 10 gallon water heater, a 110v norcold freezer, occasional smartphones, or laptops, occasional use of an air compressor.
My reefer is 12/110 and I am beginning to convert all interior lighting to LED.
I use a bank of 2 ea 8D batteries for hotel and 1 ea 8D for starting.
The same individual suggested swapping the 8D's out with six deep cycle marine batteries in three banks of two.
My main questions:
Are there "in line" inverters that install between the DC and AC systems so that you continue to use the existing 110V outlets, or do you have to plug directly into the inverter? (deal breaker)
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or ideas.
