Renogy Pro 2000W Pure Sine
A good fit for RVs and vans that run a fridge or fan all night, since the low idle draw saves battery. Expect to hardwire it rather than plug into the unit.

The Renogy Pro 2000W Pure Sine rates 4.0 among 1,100 to 2,000 W 12V inverters; the AIMS Power 2000W Inverter Charger (ETL) rates 3.8 among inverter-chargers ones. The Renogy Pro 2000W Pure Sine costs $735.01 less ($333.99 vs $1,069).
AIMS Power 2000W Inverter Charger (ETL)
#13 in Inverter-chargersFull review
A listed low-frequency inverter-charger for cabins, backup and RVs with hard-starting motor loads. It is heavy and idles high, but few listed units surge this long.
