Not to my TM. But I have a 3000 watt inverter powering off the grid outlets to my house. Only used it for lights, TV and computer.

I'll hook up the inverter to my TM in a few days and report back.
I'm sure Dan Gardner could help with this.

I hooked up the 3000 watt pure sine inverter to my van battery. I turned on the engine since its the altinator that produces the power for the inverter.
I was able to run a shark vacuum cleaner and a 360i and Cimex. But not simultaneously

I have a 2000 watt power inverter connected to my TM battery.

With the TM running the battery is re-charged.

It is a complete 15+ amp circuit at 110 VAC.

Thinking I was doing something wrong after reading Bob's post-- I decided to do my above test again.
The 360i and Cimex worked this time..:headscratch::dejection:
Sorry for wrong info before.

The van hadn't been started in about 2 weeks. Maybe in the 1st test the altinator was busy charging the battery 1st before powering the invertor?
