Is anyone else Using the Mav with the 2 K inverter for power during the storm. How is it going with your setup.
The Mav/2k inverter seems to be working as a generator in a SHTF,

Never heard of such. I saw 400 watts on my bed A/C plug.

It Is a DIY setup. It is paying off. Im not the first one to do it. Others gave me the Idea. For right now Day three. It is saving our pipes running a well pump and lights. I was just wondering if the others were using theirs right now. So far its working.

Haven't done it with the Mav, however I've used one with my F150 to charge Bluetti's. They do a nice job if you don't have a generator.

This makes me wish I had purchased an XL FOR 19995 and put an 80 gallon fuel tank in the bed. But it's hard to not stick to long term storage advantages of propane for standalone gens.

Glad to hear it. That's why I did mine.
When you're back to normal we'd love to see some pictures

These are most likely the inspiration. I know they are what got me into it. I have it all built, but no Hybrid Mav to test it on (yet).

Sorry about not answering but the phone and data lines just came back. The Setup is like my old photos go. Extension cord to the back bed to a 1/2 hp Well pump that only ran periodically it pulls Six amp when running . Just enough of a drip so the pipes don't freeze. I did leave the Mav key on just left it in park.Then a Suicide cable to the house Lights and TV Only Lights are all LED IV is a Cheap LED one.Turned off main breaker until i saw neighbors lights on. . Lesson Learned Inverter energy efficient refrigerator will not run at all or even looks at a MSW Inverter I Will be changing to a PSW inverter and I Have to add a second plug put in the bed for 110. We have another Storm coming next week If the grid drops off again I will post Pics. I just put everything back up. Mainly I was asking If anyone else had done this.

Has anyone else who put the 2K inverter in their Mav used it in a outage??

Still haven't tried mine, but mine is using a pure sine wave inverter, so it will be interesting to test it on my "new" fridge, which like yours is probably fairly picky when it comes to how "dirty" the sine wave is. I am picking mine up on Thursday and will monkey around with testing my setup sometime next week.
