Looking for a 2000w inverter before I buy new.

Or does anyone have a lead on a good price for one? Around the 1k budget

Do you specifically need a Victron, or just something fitting a particular set of requirements, and if the latter, what?  For example you can get crappy "modified sinewave" inverters for under $100 from your favourite crapvendor, but that's probably not what you're after.

Does not have to be a victron but need of similar quality. It will.be used full time, every day. So a pure sine wave inverter and must not be centre tapped.

Victron is good gear.

 

I hesitate to suggest facebook marketplace - but someone (not me ;-) in Kaiwaka is selling an MPII 12V 2K for 1000 $.
So that might work...
