This 12V inverter changes DC output from your RV batteries into AC power and sends it to the electrical system. Using pure sine wave technology, it creates clean power with low distortion, making it safe, efficient, and perfect for sensitive electronics like computers. Plus, the inverter can generate 6,000 starting watts and 3,000 running watts which is a great fit for larger appliances and electronics.
Functions and Features
The inverter includes a hardwire AC terminal for AC loads, positive and negative DC input terminals that connect to your batteries, and a port for a fixed-mount remote (sold separately). It has a function switch that lets you select different output voltages (100V, 110V, 115V, and 120V) and frequencies (50Hz and 60Hz). This switch can also turn the power saver on and off. Additionally, the power saving adjustment dial near the function switch sets the input and wake up thresholds for the power saver.
The system includes a number of safety features. It offers protection from over/under voltage, overloading, and overcurrent. The inverter also uses a heat sink process to protect from extreme temperatures, and an internal cooling fan removes excess heat from the unit.
For additional safety, installing a fuse between the battery bank and the inverter will protect your equipment from power surges. The Go Power 400-amp fuse block (sold separately) works with this unit and uses a slow blow time-delay feature to withstand surge current. This means it can handle short surges over 400 amps without blowing the fuse, which is great for devices with motors that require more energy to start.
How It Installs
The inverter mounts inside your RV in a dry location with ventilation. It should be installed in close proximity to the battery bank, but not in the same compartment. The DC terminals are wired to the battery bank. There are several ways to connect the inverter to your RV's electrical system, but this will depend on your rig and how you want to use your inverter.
Available Fixed-Mount Remotes Provide Easy Monitoring and Control
There are 2 fixed-mount remotes (sold separately) that let you monitor and control the inverter from inside your RV.
For a simple, no-frills option, the Go Power GP-SWR-A Inverter Remote lets you turn your inverter on and off from inside your RV. It also has a LED which indicates the inverter's status.
For additional features, the Go Power GP-ISW-R-12 Inverter Remote provides LED indicators that display the voltage, output power, inverter status, power saving mode status, and fault conditions. It also has a power button that controls the inverter.

One year + later, this inverter is great! I have it connected to two battleborn lithium batteries. We can run our TV although we don’t much, our Microware, or our coffee Kirin machine - of course not all at once. The fan is a bit noisy but it only fires up when drawing heavy from the inverter. Love it and recommend it.
by: Joe 04/03/2024
I am always amazed at how well the team and eTrailer service customers. The communication from product purchase to delivery is exceptional. Price/value of products is highly appreciated as well. I always save time and money when going to eTrailer to find parts for my Lance 2445 Trailer.
by: Charles07/12/2023
Works great, the unit is powering a work shed in the backyard. The Inverter is paired up with 400w of solar and two battleborn 100a batteries. The unit replaced a 3000w inverter from another company that fried twice within a year.
by: Johnathan 08/23/2022
This product is reliable and works well to the stated 400 watts when the load is steady. I like that this unit works well with my 29.4V DC battery pack (7S). Past 250 watts, even small surges will trip the unit off. At around 250 watts(steady) my quart compressor cooler will kill AC power out when it kicks on. It appears that the 600 watt surge rating is inaccurate.
by: Stephen08/22/2023
I have this installed and the included remote does not work as described in the instructions. When not connected to shore power the remote shows the charger function on yet the instructions say this is not an option.
Also, I changed the power saver mode to 15 minutes from the default off. I didn’t see a change in the remote output after several hours.
Less than 10 days after I ordered this etrailer dropped the price $XXX.XX. That’s not insignificant and they wouldn’t do anything for me about it.

I replaced my magnum that went out due to a wiring issue. It was easy to replace for the most part although the wire to the controll panel was 6 wire and the old one was 4. It works very well. All I lost was the self start of the old one. Very good product.
by: Justin10/11/2023
Inverter failed around the one year mark with light use. 1 star for that but 3 stars overall because of GoPowers customer service who provided a replacement without trouble.
by: Edgars05/12/2023
Installed last year in a horse trailer with living quarters. Using with a pair of Dakota lithium batteries. Works great. Powers Microwave with ease. love the ability to pull from battery while also using generator; i can run both microwave and coffee maker together like this.
Points of note:
1) When inverter is turned on there is a quiet weird chirp occasionally. If you're a light sleeper sensitive to sounds, be prepared for a "what is that?" if it is installed in the LQ area.
2) If batteries are full and i plug in my Furman generator (Costco purchased from Costco), the generator gets tripped in to overload when float charging is enabled. Not an issue when charging batteries.

We are currently working on hooking up the inverter we ordered from etrailer for the maiden voyage in our new trailer. It appeared these items would not be arriving before we left, but after a quick phone call to etrailer and a conversation with Steve Z. in customer service our inverter was on it's way by 10:00 am that morning. It did indeed arrive in 2 days giving us time to hook this up. We were thrilled as we wanted to put this trailer to work off the grid. Great service. Thank you so much.

I finally received my Go Power IC3000 after a nearly three-week delay. Unfortunately, I missed my window of opportunity to get it installed this year, so I am not able to complete a review of the product at this time. I can say, installation is going to be quite a challenge. The item is large and heavy. Finding a suitable location that meets all the requirements is going to be difficult. The batteries are located at the front of the trailer, while the AC lines are on the other side of the basement. Since the inverter cannot be located in the same area as the batteries, I'm not sure I am going to be able to reach everything and maintain the 10' maximum length requirement of the 0000 DC cable. We will see what happens next spring. I will post a follow-up review post-installation if possible.
by: Scott H03/03/2021
The inverter works very well. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because the front of the unit is made with cheap plastic. The screws that hold the electric outlet in the front of the unit is embedded into the plastic. The plastic broke the first time I plugged into the outlet. I was leaving in two days to go on a trip to Utah so did not send it back. I voided the warranty by opening the unit, reinforced the outlet by sandwiching the plastic front in between two pieces of aluminum and used screws to hold the outlet in place. Since doing this, everything has worked flawlessly.
I would not buy this item again due to the plastic front.
by: Stanley 09/11/2023
Everything went well. I’m very pleased with the service & Inverter.
by: David01/21/2021
Ordered Monday night at 6:30 pm and it showed up Thursday at noon with the free shipping option. Can’t beat that! Now I get to install over the weekend instead of waiting until the original arrival date of Monday. Will give 4 stars for now until it’s installed and working. Hefty unit at 50 lbs. install in my 2015 Amped 28FS looks like it will be very straight forward. Thanks etrailer for the quick shipping. Now I can’t wait to do some serious boondocking especially when my solar is installed and I can minimize the generator running!

- Troubleshooting Reverse Polarity Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave InverterSomewhere in the system you have a hot side and a neutral line reversed. My suggestion is to take it back to the person you paid to install. But if you want to troubleshoot the installation of your Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter, # 34275013 yourself; start at the beginning of the circuit on your installation checking polarity at each connection point to discover where the inverted wiring issue is. You do not state how you identified that there is a reverse polarity issue...

- What Inverters Are Compatible With Redarc RedVision Vehicle Management SystemPer discussion with Redarc, until the Redarc USA Inverters are available, there are currently two options in the Go Power product line that are compatible with the Redarc RedVision VMS, Vehicle Management System, # RED89FR. They are the 12V Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter with GFCI in 2,000 Watt, # 34278156 and the Go Power 3,000 Watt version, # 34278157. These inverters will allow the RedVision system to control the on/off function of the inverter.
view full answer... - Which Inverter and Power Distribution Box Can Be Paired to Provide At Least 25 Amps of PowerPart of the challenge of running your RV or trailer completely off battery power is that you're going to require a rather large battery bank (at least 4 and likely as many as 8 depending on the size of the coach and what you're powering) to power things like AC units and refrigerators. Adding an inverter like the Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter - 3,000 Watt - 12V # 34278157 would be required to power anything that runs off AC power and is a good addition if you're not always...
view full answer... - Can the Go Power 3000w Pure Sine Wave Converter Be Used with AGM BatteriesYes.The Go Power # 34278157 will work with an AGM battery or any other type of battery that you want to use with it, including lithium ion. You won't need to change any of the settings and it's prepared to work right out of the box and will convert your battery's DC power into clean AC power.
view full answer... - Can the Progressive Dynamics Pure Sine Wave Inverter PD64FR Be Wired Without the Transfer SwitchNo, the Progressive Dynamics Pure Sine Wave Inverter w/ Transfer Switch # PD64FR cannot be wired to run without the internal transfer switch. If you are needing a pure sine wave inverter without a transfer switch, you can use a Go Power inverter like the Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter # 34278157.
view full answer... - Can the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center Be Wired For SolarNo, you cannot wire the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center # PD4590K18LS8 (PD4590) to a solar system. Solar can only be wired directly to a charge controller and then directly to a battery. It can't be wired any other way. You would need to get an inverter like the # 34278157 wired to a transfer switch # PD5110010Q before the panel to be able to reuse everything.

Your battery should have an amp hour rating that you can divide by 5.42 amps and then you'll know exactly how long the battery can maintain the draw from the fridge. For example, the Go Power Lithium RV Battery # 34282738 has a 100 amp hour rating so you would get 18.45 hours out of the battery.

You'll need to add up the amp draw per hour for every item you'll power with the inverter in and figure out how many hours you'd use that item for in order to calculate the battery bank size needed. You'll also need to remember that each item would only be running off of a 3000 watt inverter # 34278157 so you might not...
