Modern RVs are full of high-end electrical components. We see a lot of the latest Class A motorhomes come equipped with many TVs, washer-dryer combos, residential refrigerators, and electric fireplaces. Even smaller, entry-level trailers are coming equipped with 120-volt appliances like microwaves, TVs and fireplaces. All of these items need power to operate. Now if your RV is plugged in, this is a non-issue, but when campground power is unavailable, you need to find an alternative source of power, or simply not use your AC devices.
For some, a generator is okay and will provide power when needed. However, there are times when a generator is not a viable solution. Especially if all you want to do is keep the electric fridge running or watch a program on the television. RV campgrounds have quite time and will restrict the hours you can even use your generator. To fill these voids, an inverter is your best solution.
