    So I need a power invertor for my new job and my old one has grown legs and run away over the last 12 years.:zip::whistle:

    What is a good price and brand for a 2000 watt invertor?

    I am so far out of the loop I wouldn't know where to begin looking for one anymore.

    Thanks

    Do you have any concerns about interrupted signals. The cheaper inverter is going to mess with radio tv cb whatever signals. If I remember right sinewave inverter shields this interference but is spendier.

    I have never had interference with the power drive inverters.... I am very happy with mine.

    How was the first week Pete ? Hope it all went well..

    I don't know if you found one yet or if the one I have would be big enough to get you through. I have a 1000 watt I would let you have if you pay the shipping.
