JDCrow Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 So if this is one of those Chevy/Ford/Dodge things, let me know. I’m looking to update our inverter/charger. contenders: Xantrax Freedom Pro (Xantrax in the Dip still going strong) Victron Multiplus 2 (can split legs, hybrid, can charge chassis batteries as well from unit) Magnum is kinda in 3rd expensive for what it does. Samplex don’t know much The hybrids seem great if you are hooked into family/friends 15 amp to use batteries to boost. Pure/true wave as well for computers And ability to upgrade down the road. (Solar, lithium) Any experience in longevity, customer service, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vito.a Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Magnum has great custoner service. Their inverters are built here so they also have spare parts and hundreds of service centers. They will also work with lithium and solar Victron is great if you are going to add solar and/or want Bluetooth. Xantrex are made over seas.

Dwight Lindsey Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I don't know anything about Xantrex and their upgrade path. Were I you I would look at that. I have a 2000 watt MSW Magnum and I've looked at replacing it with PSW Magnum and it seems to be a drop-in replacement. Same footprint, same cables . . . easy to do. Xantrex may have the same kind of easy upgrade path. Dwight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry T Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I changed my magnum msw to the new magnum hy bred. Easy peasy. Did have to update the AGS to AGS Network.....then added the BMK. Love it Terry T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwight Lindsey Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Terry: Did you upgrade from a 2000 watt MSW to a 3000 watt hybrid? If so, did you need to change any cables or wires to carry the larger amperage? Dwight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry T Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Yes, I went to the 3000. nope did not need to change wires. I had big enough wire in place, according to magnum techs. Terry T Oops, yes, I did upgrade the inline 350 amp fuse to 400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
