Best RV Inverter of 2024 Reviewed

We’ll start this list off with an industrial-grade pure sine power inverter. The AIMS is one of the top RV inverters for being extraordinarily well-designed and manufactured. It has a surge capacity of an incredible 9,000 watts for up to 20 seconds. That’s a 300% surge, which is rare for a commercial model.

This option has a lot of features, but one of the most impressive is the built-in battery RV inverter charger that charges at 100 amps. It’s adjustable from 0 percent to 100 percent so you can have more control over how fast and how much the battery is charged. This comes in handy if you happen to have a small battery.

Unfortunately, it only has two 110-volt standard power outlets, which, for the price is disappointing. However, we are so impressed with the overall quality that we can overlook this (it’s nothing that a good power strip can’t fix). The AIMS 3,000-watts is 16.48 x 8.74 x 7.10 inches and weighs 64 pounds. It’s a fair-sized inverter with a lot of high-quality tech packed into a little box.

If you prefer a lightweight option, the PowerTechON 3,000-watt only weighs a little over 14 pounds and measures 22 x 9.3 x 4 inches. It’s one of the lightest devices you can find as it is fairly basic with the parts being on the cheap end, but it is suitable for light-duty use, being best suited for camper usage.

With 3,000 running watts and 6,000 surge Watts, the PowerTechON can handle low to medium wattage electronic devices and appliances. It has four outlets. Three of them are standard 110-volt outlets, and the last one is a USB port.

The Power TechON boasts five different protection systems. These are thermal, under-voltage, over-voltage, overload, and low voltage. Most devices have these five systems, so it’s not a unique point, but it is nice to have them in place.

We call this a no-hassle option because it comes with a complete installation kit. You won’t need to worry about matching and buying additional parts. It’s high-quality, manufactured very well, sturdy, and performs at an outstanding level.

The WindyNation Vertamax features three standard 110-volt outlets. Like most of the options on this list, it can handle 3,000 continuous watts and 6,000 surge watts and has a continuous power output frequency of 60Hz. It weighs 15.4 pounds and measures 16.7 x 10.3 x 3.7 inches. It’s very lightweight but has the performance level of some of the heavier devices.

We like the fact that it has three fans to keep it cool. It comes with the same six protection systems as the BCI version. We also like the fact that there is a switch that allows the display panel to switch between direct current volts and alternating current volts.

The Go Power! has a great, quality construction that isn’t seen in a lot of rv inverters. It is made with all-metal, durable housing, and is evidently a long-lasting product. Despite this, it still comes with a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty in the case of defects.

With 3,000 continuous watts and 6,000 surge watts, you’ll be able to run a host of appliances and electronics with this option. It is incredibly efficient and stable. The Go Power! only has two standard 110-volt outlets, and we wish it had more. However, this is easily fixed with a power strip, so we’ll overlook this minor inconvenience.

This model comes with the price tag of a high-quality item, but it’s worth every penny for a product that’s going to continuously perform at an outstanding level. The Go Power! measures 17.8 x 6.5 x 8.2 inches and weighs 21 pounds.

The BCI 3,000-Watt is a great, lightweight, high-quality product that can work well in a variety of situations. It’s a pure sine wave power inverter with a continuous power output frequency of 60Hz. It has a surge capacity rating of up to 6,000 watts and can handle up to 3,000 watts continuously. With four standard 110-volt outlets, this model can handle a multitude of electronics and appliances.

While it is a bit limited by the fact that it only has AC outlets, it makes up for this limitation in other areas. Like other devices on this list it has six protection systems, plus an added reverse polarity system. It has dual 2.5-inch cooling fans and two LCD panels so you can keep up with real-time system information.

The BCI 3,000-Wat only comes with a one-year warranty. However, if used correctly it has been shown to continue working well far beyond this time frame. This model measures 16.9 x 7.1 x 5.5 inches and weighs just under 15 pounds.

Here is a good budget option for those who need to save a few bucks. This Ampeak model can handle up to 4,000 surge watts and 2,000 running watts. While it’s not built for heavy-duty use, large appliances, or sensitive electronics, it is useful if you need a cheap option for simple things. We like that the manufacturer clearly states what this product is not suitable for, so you know upfront what it’s capable of.

This Ampeak model is for someone who needs to run small, simple appliances. What it does run, it runs exceptionally well for a cheap RV inverter. It doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles, but it does have three standard 110-volt outlets and five protection systems like most of the other devices.

The Ampeak is very compact. It only weighs a little over 8 pounds and measures 10.3 x 8.2 x 3.4 inches. It’s not made to last as long as other devices, but if you’re only going to use it lightly, it will last a good while.

Here is another lightweight option that is very similar to the Power TechON, but with a few minor upgraded features. It’s suitable for light-duty use and comes with a three-year warranty.

The KRIËGER K3000 handles up to 6,000 surge watts and has two standard 110-volt outlets, as well as two USB ports. Since it is not a pure sine wave inverter it is slightly confusing that it has USB ports. It is generally not a good idea to power sensitive electronics with these types of rv inverters, nonetheless, they are there if you choose to risk it. We like the fact that it has a small LCD that gives readings on the different systems inside. The display only gives numbers, but it’s better than being entirely in the dark.

This model is very compact and easy to use. It measures 13.19 x 5.67 x 4.88 inches and only weighs 7.58 pounds. There is also a five protection system, as seen with the Power TechON, including thermal shutdown as well as a short-circuit protection shutdown.

This is a high-quality, premium RV inverter that offers a high level of performance (with a premium price tag to match). While it can only handle 2,000 continuous watts, it can handle up to 12,000 surge watts. This makes it perfect for large appliances that have heating elements such as industrial ovens and more. It has two AC lines (no outlets).

Another attractive feature of this model is the number of automatic functions that it performs. When AC power is available, it automatically charges batteries. It also automatically passes the power from the AC power source directly to the appliances or electronics, saving the battery power for backup. When the alternating current power is disrupted, it automatically switches back to inverting direct current battery power.

This was designed for heavy-duty use with little to no physical monitoring so you can spend your time focusing on what matters most. It’s truly a “set it and forget it” piece of equipment. This is not a portable model. It will have to be hardwired into your RV, and you’ll need to purchase the basic remote panel separately.

This model weighs 45 pounds and measures 7.9 x 11.5 x 13.2”.

We included this option on the list because it’s great value. While we won’t go so far as to call it a budget option, it is on the lower end of the RV inverter price spectrum, and it does have many attractive features. One of the main things we like about it is the fact that it has four standard 110-volt sockets plus one USB port. This allows you to plug up several appliances or electronics without needing an extension cord or power strip. Many of the premium inverters for RVs on this list don’t even have this many options. Unfortunately, it’s a modified sine wave inverter, so you can’t charge or power sensitive electronics from the USB port.

The Peak PKC0AW can handle up to 3,000 continuous watts and 6,000 watts of surge power. This is average as far as other models on the list; however, we will admit that this option may not be able to handle 3,000 continuous watts. Therefore, you may be better off keeping your continuous watts at 2,000 or lower and in doing so you are sure to have a great product without spending a fortune. The Peak PKC0AW is very lightweight and compact measuring in at 20.8 x 9.8 x 5.9 inches and weighing a little over 17 pounds. This makes it very easy to work with.
