I'm looking into an inverter as well... why 3000 watts? I was thinking the renology 2000 watts, now you have me wondering. Thanks!

I can't answer for anyone else, but I put 3000w in mine because it CAN run the AC, and has a bit of headroom leftover for a knicknack or two (like a desk fan, which does a good job circulating that cool air). Not for long (I "only" have 400ah of battery), but there have been times it's paid off. If I pull into a rest stop for a break and the trailer is sweltering, I can kick on the AC for some relief while I rest and get a snack. Or at a Harvest Host and I just want to run it for a bit before bed to take the edge off from the setting sun. Assuming I'm not an idiot and leave the fridge on AC, it works out great.

I never tested it or did the math but I assumed a 2000w inverter wouldn't be able to handle the AC.
