a 1500 watt pure sine wave inverter supposedly guarantees that it will run 1500 watts of appliances. As long as your stuff does not add up to above that it should be ok. And you probably won’t run everything at the same time. Running 1500 watts will run down the relatively small batteries in the Axis in a very short period of time. Based on the calculations from this web site, running 1000 watts for three hours would take four Axis sized batteries. 1500 watts would run for 2 hours on those 4 batteries.

I am not an electrical expert, but if I were you, I would ask one before I spent a lot of money on a large inverter. From my experience in the Vegas/Axis over the past 4 years, the house battery power doesn’t get you very far, even if you run just lights and small appliances. We’ve boondocked a lot and we always fight to conserve battery power even with a very small inverter.
