How many batteries do you have, and what is the power rating? That is more important when you fit an inverter!

@peterc10 i try to future proof just in case we use it for other things

I paid a fortune (to me) for my 300 watt pure sine inverter but I see on Amazon, a 1500 watt pure sine for £100. Are all pure sine inverters the same quality?

Sunshine Solar have a great choice of inverters and their remote completely switches it off without any standby power use.
I have the 2000w psw unit as it is wired into the ring main so when off grid I just switch on and all sockets are powered exactly the same as on ehu.
With psw there is no need to worry about ruining anything you may plug in.
Mine runs off two dedicated batteries with Solar charging.

However you do it, please ensure that you add an additional RCD on the inverter output. We keep seeing installations where people think, erroneously, that the RCD/MCB on the incoming supply will offer them protection when using their sockets on invert mode, which obviously it cannot.That sounds just the job.
Any chance of a wiring diagram to see how you have done it.
I presume you don't get any back feed to the inverter when you go on hook up or do you have a switch over switch
Thanks

It was @Techno Andy who made this easy as in the thread http://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/threads/auto-changeover-relay-for-inverter.55467/That sounds just the job.

we have one the same 2000/4000 no issues and I think it was only about £50. I was shocked how cheap it was.If all you are using it for is hairdryer or straighteners you do not need a pure sine wave model. Go for a modified sine wave model, it will be much cheaper and work just as well. We have a 2000W model (4000W peak) and it works my wife's 1200W travel hairdryer without any problems at all.
