I installed an Aims 2500 watt inverter in the front storage compartment.  I had a 1500 watt inverter and upgraded to the Aims unit.  I got the idea from Timcar’s post.  I chose the Aims because of the features;

  • 2500 watt continuous
  • 7500-watt surge for 20 seconds 300% surge capability (don’t use the surge mode often)
  • AC direct connect terminal block
  • GFCI outlet
  • Marine coated and protected
  • Multi-stage smart charger 85 A
  • LCD or LED remote panel available (LED available in Dec.)
  • Thermal and load based fan
  • Low voltage recovery

  • Power save mode
  • Auto frequency
  • 10msec typical transfer time
  • Optional 25W power save mode
  • 7 battery type settings for the charger.

I wanted to install it in the front storage area but the back wall wouldn’t support the weight.  I added 1-inch square tubing along the back wall to mount the Aims to.  I wished I had a mig welder, I had to use self-drilling screws. 

 The main reason for the upgrade was to support a residential refrigerator.  My old inverter wouldn’t have supported it And future expansion and the auto switch feature I upgraded to Aims.

I carry a 10 amp air compressor and the surge feature will start the compressor when I need it.

The Aims will auto switch between shore power and inverter power.
