What Type of Transfer Switch is Needed to Run Coffee Maker or Toaster that Draw 1,000 Watts

Question:

I am preparing my trailer for boomdocking. I am installing two deep cycle batteries, 75 or 100 mah depending on cost. I have seen a 2000 watt inverter for $119.00 on another site which I know is overkill for my needs, but the price is right. Basically, I need to run a CPAP at night, about 5 watts, and a 1000 watt coffee maker in the morning before my wife wakes up plus a toaster that draws 1000 watts. I know better than to run both the coffee maker and toaster at the same time. Once she is awake I will be run our portable generator, i-power SUA2000iV, to power the other appliances, except air conditioner. I was looking at the go-power transfer switch on your site. Would you recommend this transfer switch or is there a better choice for my needs?

Basically you'd need a little over 10 amps of power at any given point based on the wattage of the accessories you mentioned so the 30 amp transfer switch part # 34264403 would easily work really well since it has about 3 times the amperage requirement. This would be a really solid choice that would work well so I recommend it for you! We also don't have anything lower amperage either.
