I would like to run an electric blanket and a small tv in my caravan, total watts about 400. What size inverter would you suggest and suit my needs?
Appliances that have coils that produce heat typically require 2 to 6 times the listed power. Therefore, if the blanket is rated at 100Watts continuous, you may require a 600W Inverter just for the blanket. With the TV, they typically require a large surge current if they haven’t been switched on in a while. This is due to the large capacitors in the power supply that must be quickly charged when the appliance is first turned on. Due to the factors above, the best Power Inverter I would suggest for your use is the 1200W 8ZED Power Inverter. Another benefit in purchasing this 1200W 8ZED Inverter is that it has 2x 240VAC sockets that would make things easier to connect the 2 different appliances.
