I've no personal experience with such an inverter.
1200 watt of inverter is more than enough for a single pair of GC-2s though, unless one is trying to run 12+ amp powertools with engine running and a thick copper path from alternator to GC-2.
One can only put so much inverter on so much battery. GC-2s are not really capable of supporting huge loads and maintaining high enough voltages to power a large wattage inverter for long, or at lesser states of charge.
A lot of people will put a 2KW inverter, or larger, on a single 12v battery, but this can be compared to a 5 second drag car, which uses 5 gallons of gas to run the 1/4 mile, but then only having a 2 gallon gas tank.
This inverter can be made to work, it is just different in that it is designed to have all the AC wiring already in an RV run through it, instead of a stand alone inverter.
Gotsmart can figure it out.
I'd be more concerned with the Aims brand, but again no personal experience, only what I've read online in the fairly distant past about their lack of quality/ efficiency/ durability. But these reports could simply be the squeaky indignant wheel making the most noise online, and the quiet wheels not getting any attention, as they need none.
