Power Inverter
Hey everyone,
Since I've been doing so much electrical work on my Cherokee I have been considering installing a power inverter. My question is what size power inverters have you use on your Cherokee, and how much do they power?
Ideally I would like to be able to run camping equipment or power tools off of the inverter.

I have a 1750 watt I bought about 15 years ago. They will run just about anything except an electric motor without start capacitors. The square sine wave just doesn't have the kick to it for those. However, I run an apartment sized refrigerator in the back to keep things cold and any power tools you can name. Also charge up LED lights and stuff for the camp
