Hi AllŒ

Some years ago we hired a very posh very modern Broads Cruiser this was
kitted out amongst other stuff with a ceramic hob (halogen I think) and
a largish electric oven and separate microwave.

I can‘t remember what it had in the way of a fridge / freezer.

I do remember we had to run the engine to use the cooking appliances
and / or the electric heating.

All of this was run via an inverter. It seems lik we an awful lot of
KWs.


What kind (and approximate cost) of alternator and inverter would be
needed for this?



It would make more sense to me to generate the 240 volts directly from
the engine. No point in an inverter if you can't run off batteries. So
likely two independent electrical systems.

Thats what I was thinking....
