Ron - Those things are VERY cool - inverter + 3 stage charger in one unit - THANKS! These really interest me now that I know they are readily available.

Looks like Trace Engineering is part of Xantrex and they have some awesome products (not cheap, of course): http://www.xantrex.com

Please let us know how you like the Kipor after you've used it for a month or two. That's right in the KW range I've been interested in for an on-board genset.

Heh - I found out that staff people get freaked if you have a stand-alone personal laptop within 50 ft of a cabled ARC network - VERY paranoid about ingesting anything into the network - good.
