#17 in 1,100 to 2,000 WFull review

The Xantrex PROwatt SW 2000 rates 3.4 among 1,100 to 2,000 W 12V inverters; the Xantrex Freedom SW 2000 rates 2.8 among inverter-chargers ones. The Xantrex PROwatt SW 2000 costs $1,205.03 less ($546.73 vs $1,751.76).
Xantrex Freedom SW 2000
#41 in Inverter-chargersFull review
A heavy-duty inverter-charger for larger RVs that run off a generator and may want to stack two units later. The Freedom XC Pro 2000 is lighter and cheaper if you do not need stacking.
