We have 1400w inventer. Bruce installed it in the front of the basement opposite the battery compartment. We have had added 2 additional batteries for a total of three. He ran a sixteen gauge extention cord, zipped tied in placed through the basement to a separate wall pull (which he also installed) in the w/d closet. Then we put a 7 cubic foot freezer into the closet. He wired the inverter directly into the battery bank with a 40 amp inline fuse using six gauge wire. The inverter will run the freezer for approximately 12 hours. He bought the inverter from Camping World for $59.00.

We used a cheap square wave inverter to power up appliances. Suggest a sine wave inverter for electronics -- even though they cost around $300 so you do not burn up the electronics.
