THOR #13058
My first post so I hope I get this right. I am looking to purchase a new Thor ACE 29.3 unit. Normally the model only comes with one 1000 Watt inverter for outside refrigerator and TVs and gas/electric refrigerator. But for this unit, Thor put in a residential refrigerator, a 2nd power inverter, and a AGS. While I kind of like that, I am concerned because both inverters have to be on the same bank of standard two 12 volt Worldwide batteries. My fear is that the way it is setup; I would basically be cutting the available amp hours in half. Since I have not bought and many options still exist, would you think I should draw a hard line to have Thor / RV Dealer double the battery capacity with two 6 Volts or similar, move on to a unit that has gas / electric refrigerator, or just accept it as it? I have rented RVs in the past and do expect to dry camp and boondock. But I do tend to think that if I can get 24 hours off the batteries; I probably will never have an issue with AGS having to kick on short the unexpected.

I worry mostly about quiet hours because most of the places I go do not like loud generators at night. This generator is Onan 5500. I have never heard it to know how loud it would be but assume, I shouldn't run at night regardless.
