[C320-list] Installing an inverter

[Richard A. Walker]

I am verry satisfied with the xantec inverter. Be sureget a pure sine  
wave. You may want to run a TV some day. Also 1500 watts.

We use our time to time for making coffie.

The xantec now called a different has run well for the past 10 years.
