Hi
Been a lurker for possibly almost a year now, but having put a deposit on a Rapido A class at the weekend, I though I'd better introduce myself. Totally new at this, so be gentle with me!!
My question is, as its a newish Rapido on a Merc chassis (10 months old) would it come with an inverter to convert 12v to 240v? The spec says it has an inverter, but on closer inspection this appears to be able to let you run the heating whilst on the move. Therefore, would "The team" expect a newish model to have an inverter fitted and if not what type to go for - do I need to spend £700 or so on an all singing all dancing pure sine wave inverter for the few times I may actually need to use it when not hooked up to an external electricity supply?
I would probably only need a 240v supply to recharge laptop/bikes/phones and for SWMBO to run her hairdryer for 10 mins or so a day - I reckon the leisure batteries should be able to cope with this load, but any advice gratefully received...
