[QUOTE="boltonsparky, post: 500193, member: 4678"] They are plentiful but the ones with the link switch for the RCD seem to be few and far between, I've contacted a few manufacturers of them and they say linking the neutral and earth together manually will make them go bang. I've downloaded quite a few manuals to some of these inverters and they state that it's not suitable for use in a motorhome or feeding an AC distribution system. It's usually a one liner hidden in the manual somewhere. However they may be suitable for your intended use. I've also noted from trying to find further information on them that some of the cheaper ones can dump 230v down the battery negative as they aren't isolated from the DC side. [/QUOTE]
