Found out today that the inverter on the T@B 400 is an option. My dealer is doing solar prep using the Renogy solar suitcase 200w. Should I order the factory inverter or upgrade to a more powerful unit. I boondock once or twice a year and can generator on those occasions. If you did get the factory inverter how much was it and are you happy you did?  Thank you all for the information I have been gathering on the forum before I order my unit.  =)

    What 110volt appliance do you want to run while Boondocking? If you only boondock a few times a year, AND have a generator, skip the inverter entirely. A 200w solar array and decent battery will meet most electrical needs while camping.

    A nüCamp representative confirmed that the 1200W inverter is an option in the T@B 400. The cost of the upgrade is determined by the dealer but is likely $400 or less. 

    The two of us have found that we use the inverter on rare occasions while camping off grid. We charge laptaps, toothbrushes, or a shaver. We're glad to have it, we wouldn't run the generator just for one of those items. 

    Happy Trails!

    I have the inverter and there is what appears to be an on off button on the inverter pad next to the inverter outlet. How does the inverter work? Nothing seems to happen when I push the button???

    Keep the switch in the off position except when you are using the inverter. When you switch it on, it provides power to the single 110 receptacle there adjacent to the switch. Hope this helps!
