We pick up our new motorhome next Saturday :thumb::thumb::thumb: and it has everything we need except an inverter. There is a solar panel (believed to be 100w but awaiting confirmation) and 2 x 110AH leisure batteries. We plan to be off hook up at least 5 days out of 7. The inverter is only really needed for the hairdryer and charging the laptop and camera as everything else I can think of runs off 12 volt. We have LED bulbs ready to fit and we only expect to be watching TV (12V) for an hour max per day and not even every day. The only other drain I can think of will be charging Iphone/Ipad. We are considering a Sterling 1800W quasi sine wave inverter or a 1500W quasi sine wave inverter/charger. They cost roughly the same so my question is this: Is there any merit in having a 40AH inverter/charger as opposed to the straightforward inverter? (We will be in Europe and chasing the sun so hopefully the solar panel will be doing it's thing!!). I would welcome your thoughts please
