I've owned a few inverters over the years but for the first time in 20 years I've had one fitted properly and what a difference! No more, crocodile clips, trailing wires and extension gangs direct from batteries or ciggy lighter sockets for me. While we were down at VanBitz getting an alarm fitted we decided to get a decent inverter professionally fitted too.
Our first weekend away off grid since then and Sian was over the moon, just turn it on with the nice switch-pad that illuminates to show you it's on; and all the regular sockets work, so we were using the toaster and hairdryers etc (I say we, but you know I'm much more toast that hairdryer) Not only do all the sockets in the van work they are also protected with the inverters own consumer unit. Also If I inadvertently hooked up, or fired my on-board genny up, while the inverter is running then it automatically isolates and no damage is done. Old hat to a lot of you, but for us this is superb
