Do you need an inverter for a camper?

Most people who use campsites regularly probably don’t need to bother about fitting an inverter in their motorhome or camper. After all, the idea of it is to change 12v power from the leisure battery into 230v power which can be used to power appliances like laptops and hairdryers.

Does a motorhome have an inverter?

Thankfully your recreational vehicle has an inverter onboard which can draw power from your motorhome’s 12 volt (V) battery storage — reviving your phone. In this blog, we discuss what an inverter is, different types of inverters and how to match one to your motorhoming needs.

How far should a motorhome inverter be from a battery?

If your motorhome’s layout means the inverter is some distance from the leisure batteries, you will need to increase the diameter of your cabling to allow for this, and for larger inverters – over 2000W – it’s not a good idea to have cable runs over 2m. It might be wiser to move the batteries to the inverter, in some cases.

How much power does an inverter use?

Some inverters use more power than others — and there are examples of models that draw 5000W of battery power but deliver 4000W of maximum output. Check this difference between battery input and inverter output with the seller before you decide to buy.
