I've been running the 1000 watt version of that inverter in my rig for about 8 months and am very happy with it. As an electrician, I would recommend a few modifications to your system. First... Isolate your house batteries from your start battery. That will protect your alternator and ensure you don't end up with a dead start battery...😮 If you don't have solar. Get some. For the size inverter you're running.I recommend 400 watts but 200 will do if you're driving alot. Get a dual input MPPT charge controller. That's one that'll charge your house battery from solar and your alternator. I'm running a Renogy MPPT charge controller that also charges the start battery from my solar when the house batteries are full. Last. If you're not running LIFEPO4 batteries. I recommend you upgrade that too. At least 400 amp hours worth for the loads you're running. Also, it's very important that you put approprately sized fuses on everything...
I'd recommend getting the Milwaukee Rapid Charger. It made a huge difference in my work van. As I'm driving from service call to call it charges my batteries in a fraction of time.
When you describe it as being very cheap, it seems that the price right now is higher than many pure sine wave inverters on Amazon. What did you pay for yours?
Your wiring scares the heck outta my eyes...take some time and terminate those ends better, plug wire...NEVER saw that before 'think as extension cord', and cover terminals from accidential contact. GL
Your setup would of worked better with two agm deep cycle battery’s, had a similar setup running lamps small microwave and heater on house with no power,, ran jumper cables from my truck to the agms on the heavy load times.
