What is a 12V to 220V converter for?

The 12V to 220V converter allows you to use devices designed for a domestic socket (230V) when you are off-grid. It is the ideal solution for travelers who want to recharge equipment, work on the road, or use small household appliances.

Pure sine wave or modified sine wave: which to choose?

For vanlife use, the pure sine wave is generally recommended: it provides a current closer to the domestic grid, which is better suited for sensitive devices (computers, certain chargers, electronic equipment). The modified sine wave may be suitable for simple uses depending on the devices.

What power should you choose for your inverter?

Choosing the right power is essential. Add up the power (W) of the devices used at the same time, then add a safety margin. Note: some devices require a higher starting surge (motors, compressors, some kitchen appliances).

300–600W: charging, small devices, light use.
800–1500W: regular use, computers + small devices.
2000W+: intensive use (depending on your setup and needs).

Installation & safety (not to be overlooked)

An inverter should be connected as close as possible to the battery to limit losses. Provide an appropriate cable gauge, a fuse protection, and a well-ventilated area. Models with protections (overload, overheating, undervoltage) improve daily reliability.

Choosing correctly according to your vehicle

For a van, converted van, or Motorhome, check: voltage (12V/24V), continuous power, peak power, wave type (pure sine), and your actual uses. If in doubt, contact us: we help you select the right converter for your setup.

FAQ – 12V to 220V Converter

What power should I choose for a 12V to 220V converter?

Add the power of devices used simultaneously then keep a margin. Beware of starting surges (motors/compressors) which often require more peak power.

Pure sine wave: is it really necessary?

Often yes in a van or Motorhome, especially if you use computers, sensitive chargers, or electronic devices. Pure sine wave provides a “cleaner” current and avoids incompatibilities.

Can I power a coffee machine or a microwave?

These devices are often energy-intensive and may require a high starting surge. You need sufficient power, a suitable battery, and correctly sized wiring/protection.
