Do I need a Independently published RV Electrical Systems Made Simple: A Practical Guide to Batteries for travel?

Direct answer

An inverter turns 12V battery power into household-style AC power so plug-in devices can run away from shore power. If you only use 12V devices or always have shore power, you may not need one.

Who it may help

Travelers who want to run plug-in devices from a vehicle or house battery.

What to check before you buy

• Add up the watts of what you plan to run and compare with the continuous rating, not just the peak rating.
• Check pure sine wave versus modified sine wave if you will power sensitive electronics.
• Check cable, fuse and battery requirements in the listing.
