Just thought I would get some of your opinions.

I have lived with add on inverters for 5 years. They do tend to have a horrible track record failing at the most inopportune time. True all were repaired under warranty. After the 7 failure of three different brands, I spent the big buck for a Xantrex. It was still working when I sold the coach. For my dear wife, I have to make electrical things as simple as possible, so I would recommend an inverter with 30 or 60 amp automatic transfer switch. That way the entire coach's 120 volt receptacles can be powered by any of the three power sources. This does require a 120 volt sub-panel. Your battery bank should determine the size of your inverter. About 250 amp-hrs of batteries per 1,000 inverter watts seems to work well.
