Would a '97 Ford Econoline conversion van be able to power this running a maximum of 4500 watts for at least a few hours?

This will greatly depend on the alternator's output of your Econoline van. We recommend that you consult with the owner's manual to find the actual output of the van's alternator. For example, if your alternator's output is 100 amps, then the wattage output is about 1,200 watts (watts = amps x 12 volts). Please note that the electricity produced by the alternator is mostly allocated for the van's usage.

sure. why not? you just need a 12 volt power supply for it, and the right sized cutout in the roof. make sure you can seal it well with roof sealant from an RV supplier.

Gary,If your pump requires the 4500 watts for more than a split second it will not start.Joe

No I don't believe so, the 50 amp connection is a one way out to the coach, the only power you would have is 120 off the coach generator.

I ran a small 400 watt inverter off of this unit to operate a laptop computer up on the dash of my motorhome while underway. Worked fine but the key of course is having it on a properly fused 12 volt circuit matched to whatever device your trying to run. This unit has a 15 amp limit. Use it improperly and I'm sure it would burn up.

Unless you get a power inverter with enough wattage to run this thing (600 watt or higher).

with the proper alternator and correct wiring yes it would power it all day, mostly because i don't believe those are rms ratings but peak ratings.

Hi if your refrig is 110 volt at 3.5 amp then you will need 385 watts , two panels would work 3 would be better if you have good sun light and battery to store min of 200 amp hours should be enough to run in the evening hours.On the type of panels, best to do some on line research on that subject for motorhome . Good luck. Dave

I have two battery rated at 1200 CCA. I've been able to run every power tool on my truck, ie, vacuum pump, microwave, chop saw, etc. Please refer to OHMS Law for your specific needs. This is an awesome invertor.

If your using one 12 volt car battery out of the car it won't supply that current for any useable amont of time even if the converter was capableof doing that, which it is not. It could maintain 800 watts continuous if the battery was in the car with the car running maybe even 900 watts,but that's it. As far as the connection to the battery I'll reserve the "duh" and say: positive to post marked +, negative to post marked -.

I use a 1000 watt inverter connected to the battery with jumper cables. With the engine of the vehicle running it works perfectly.

Sure....with a 120 volt to 12 volt DC power converter. It is a digital unit, so power use (watts) should be very low. But check the actual amp draw prior to buying converter unit.

As long as you have a sufficient power supply around 400-500 watts you should be fine.

Sorry I won't be able to tell you , as our camper is in storage.I suggest to give powermax a call.Chris

I just checked the web console on mine and it says its max power is 370 watts.

That depends a lot on the other hardware in your system. It only draws 55 watts, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem, but I can't say definitively without more information.

sorry don't really know im using on a 12 volt system you should be able too they only take less than 2 mps to run
