Why do you want to change Graham?
Do you need to keep the 2K inverter? I got one of the 500W inverters if you want to swap/trade for it? Makes no odds to me what size I have...
Lemme know

Hi Gavin,
I want ed the option to have the 2kw installed for longer trips, or the 700w for day tripping.
I am not sure 500w would be sufficient for load starting what I have in mind.
I used to have a 'mini freezer' in my caravan, 240 v, that we would plug into the house, then take out to the caravan, the day before we left, and that run off a 400w inverter, when we were towing. (I just placed it on the cusion seating, with a bungee to stop it falling off)
Even though the inverter was powerful enough, fridges and freezers need a high 'kick in' current.
So I am thinking of how to set out the rear of my 'cruiser.
Now I am going to buy a standard mini freezer, and a standard mini fridge. Both 240v.
and tie them down in the back of my 'cruiser on some 100mm foam sponge, as a shock absorber, like in the caravan.
Any way, these mini freezer's and mini fridges are about 500mm square and 500mm high.
New can be bought for £60.00 each with guarantee.
So if one does fail, then I will simply return it.
Gav, I will give you a phone call regarding when I can pick up my inverter, is that OK ?
Graham
