I recall Magnum making a mobile version of their inverters that were a perfect fit when I took a run at making mobile solar trailers 15 years ago before lightweight LiPO batteries were a viable option. I built and sold quite a few of those units and really liked the Magnum inverters' performance. I don't think I called customer service a single time. They just worked.
