Coffee maker and toaster oven on inverter power when boondocking.

I posted this in another thread, but figure I would start a thread for it to possibly help fellow RV's.

This may be painful to watch as I am not the best video maker, but it shows it can be done.

Eventually I will get two 6 volt batts, but Im finding it hard to destroy these 12 volts. They are 3 years only, and always charged, and maintained with solar.

Basically with fully charged batterys I made a pot of coffee and a pizza in a toaster oven. When all was done and voltage was tested in the PM , I was at 12.6 volts.

This was with two Sams club Duracell 75 AH batts in parallel. And a Krieger 1100 watt inverter.. 2 gauge wire, and 2 gauge battery jumpers to connect in parallel.

My truck has a camper package that allows me to add a 3rd isolated battery in the mix. This batt is 70 ah per exide specs.

I assume the GFI issue youll see is related to the modified sinewave inverter. As I understand is 60volt/60volt on the legs..

Those kill a watt meters won't measure correctly because of the modified sine wave.
