I acquired a very nice inverter....

I was given a 1000W inverter that was made by On Board Solutions. https://www.promariner.com/en/onboardsolutions
I was told it didn’t work at all.
Got it home, opened the case. I saw that it had four 30A blade fuses on the circuit board on the 12VDC inputs. Checked one at a time, found one blown. Replaced it...... now I have a very nice inverter!
I have seen listings on the web for $500.... so, not too bad!
I am brainstorming a bit, trying to decide what to do with it. My thoughts so far:
1) utilize it in the Avion to maybe split the front circuits from the rear? As an optional project as opposed to doing a 50A conversion. We never boondock, every place we park has power. I could utilize the additional pedestal 15A connections or the 50A connection with an adapter. Thinking through that one.....
2) I have a 6’x10’ enclosed utility trailer. Add a battery, convert the wiring from 4-wire to 5-wire and add an AC input to the trailer.
3) Use it with a battery as a UPS for our home computer system and security cameras
I am leaning more towards the Avion.
