Jay,

This was a wonderfully helpful description of inverter installation.

My wife and I are planning on semi-full-timing. (We'll have a "base
camp" in a family owned apartment house -- but we _really_ don't plan
to be there much.) When I get my 'bird, I will be setting up an
office in the front area (replacing the sofas/chairs that are
standard) so that I can maintain my business on the road.

I plan to have three Macintosh computers on board (laptop, MacMini,
and G5). Currently I use APC UPS power supplies to isolate the
computers/monitors from the city power system in my home office.

So, my question is, would I be wise to invest in a full sine wave
inverter? If so, what brand is best. (I ran across an Internet site
describing the Outback VFX2812, 2500 watts, 12 volt, that looked
interesting, if expensive.)

I would plan to keep the APC-UPS online to further insulate the
computers from voltage surges, sags, and noise... (and the APC web
site, or other product info, doesn't describe if the output is
modified sine wave or full sine wave on the UPSs.)

Any comments you (or others) can provide will be very much appreciated.

(Not a bird owner yet, but looking and waiting for spouse to say ok.)
