we've used our ME2012 for over 4 years with no issues with any appliances, microwave, etc... but we also don't use the inverter to power HEAT related appliances like irons, hair dryers, coffee makers, curling irons, or heated blankets - Inverters are not designed for those HIGH DRAW amperage devices, regardless of whether modified or sine wave.

we also off-grid a lot... the generator is your best friend - use these items only when the generator is running, or plugged into shore power. Solar and Batteries are not good power sources for high amp heating devices.

You'll not find too many motorhomes with sine wave inverters until you move up into the higher-end of the scale. The cost difference IS a big deal - using a modified inverter is not cutting corners.


get your generator taken care of - and use it - it's your friend.


enjoy
