Re: Powering my outlets with inverter: Do I need Magnum MS20

Hah! And I am?

Anyway, I wanted to put my plan out there for you all to see mainly to make sure I'm being smart about safety -- for instance, the GFI & breakers. I'll also have a 150 amp fuse...

Re: Powering my outlets with inverter: Do I need Magnum MS20
