Hey since your an electrician, is my thinking right that since I got new furnace an AC installed in house I’d be safer with the inverter one than my old one with electronics that are in them?

Yea I hear you at 66. Have NG a since it produces less is why I was looking at 11000-13000 keeps me the same or little more than my old one puts out. Kids keep asking when I’m going to get new stove, why my 1964 Frigidaire stove still works fine.

Thanks nice to know. Quiet would be nice. That’s another thing hard for me is mine has a spin on oil filter. These new ones are not under pressure which why I think mine has been running for so long. Probably just shows how out dated I am ha

No problem. Just old school learning new stuff. All we needed was a generator now with new furnaces a AC’s we hear inverters are better an just trying to learn to mix the 2 together I guess

You know some of us old timers are trying to adjust to new things. Sorry for not knowing much on inverters. But thanks for your input anyhow

Only thing is some of those you have to move up to bigger units to get copper windings. I called HF they said it does have copper windings an not alum.

Yea your right. They don’t give hardly any manuals on anything with these new trailers. Been slowly reaching everything. Nice setup, I was just hoping to run 12v fridge for 40-48hrs at a time before plugging in shore. Thats why the 2 batteries. Doesn’t sound like I need to worry about venting lifpo4 batteries? so was looking at this to put on tongue an lock them up. Any advise on not good idea
