I'm checking out the Eco Worthy 5000W inverter and it looks decent overall. However, I noticed it only has one AC output, which seems odd compared to my Renogy 3000W inverter that has three outlets. Does anyone know why the Eco Worthy inverter is designed this way? Additionally, would it be okay to use a power strip with it, or should I consider saving for something more expensive like a Victron inverter instead? I'm specifically looking for something suitable for my RV.

It’s definitely strange that it only has one outlet, but some inverters are designed that way to keep things simple and reliable. Using a power bar with it should work fine, as long as you don’t overload it. Just make sure the total wattage doesn’t exceed the inverter’s limits. If you plan on running multiple devices, investing in a more expensive model like Victron could be worth it in the long run for better reliability and features.
Yeah, I’d be cautious with the Eco Worthy inverter. While it might work well for basic needs, if you find you need more power, upgrading later will cost more. If you can afford to save up for a Victron, it might offer better performance and durability. It really depends on what appliances you'll be running in your RV!
