Post Script!!
I forgot to mention a big advantage of having two inverters.
You get twice the charging power compared to a single big inverter/charger.
That in turn means rapid recharge time which is especailly useful when
charging from a genset while anchored out.
For the cruising folks travelling in distant waters having two inverters
means redundancy in case one unit fails.
It means you lose half of your total inverter or charger capacity not 100%.
