I was reading the manual for the heart inverter where it says it can be used to power air conditioners, up to 12000 btu, are'nt most Rv type 13,500? |

A big enough inverter can power two ACs. Just depends on the wattage of the inverter and the ACs. I think most rooftops are about 13,500 but it comes down to watt ratings. Also, the start-up wattage is important to make sure the inverter can handle the start-up surge. |

Dometic and Coleman both make high efficiency units that operate on about 10 amps (I think that's about 1200 watts) A 2500 watt inverter should handle that assumming you are charging batteries with engine while driving down the road.
This configuration is an alternative to running the generator to run the AC while on the road. |

1982 Newell
Just bought a 1982 40' Newell with a 903 Cummins
and a 540 Allison Tranny on board. Would like to get some Info on the Pros and Cons on these Coaches, since I am not to familiar with them yet.
The whole Unit has 196.000 Miles on it.
Any real Advice will be highly appreciate.
Thank you |
