(More customer reviews)This inverter is a great value. It shipped with 3' of 0-gauge cables to connect it to the batteries, which was a nice bonus. The remote looks like a little keyless entry car key fob with three buttons, but only one button seems to do anything - it toggles the inverter on or off. Of course, the switch on the inverter must be in the "on" position for the remote to work.
I installed it in my camper with 300Ah Lifeline batteries and I was able to run both the air conditioner and the microwave at the same time, using about 2700W according to the inverter's display.
Here are the downsides - the 4 plugs each have an independent 15amp breaker on them, so by default you can't run any single device that requires more than about 1500W. But I opened the inverter and noticed that the left and right plugs are wired to the same place (and on the same phase). So, if you tie them together, you can get 30A out of it without popping the breakers.
But the biggest downside is the overheat shutoff feature. According to the manual, the thing will shut itself down if the ambient temperature goes above 37C. That's only 95F. So if you're counting on it for air conditioning, you better have a way to cool off the inverter before you count on the inverter to run the air conditioner!!
This may not be the best inverter to build into the camper, but at this price it's hard to ignore.
