Remote Work, Monitors and Inverters

Hi.

Subject title describes the primary use of my recently acquired camper. Into my second week of trying working out of it and so far it seems to be going quite well.

I use a 13 inch MacBook Pro and a full charge will last a day. I can also plug into the 12V Hella/Din socket in the camper and while it doesn't seem to charge, it holds what it has.

I do miss my external monitor though, the 13 inch display is just a little small to be using long term. So I've started looking at inverters. Basically I want something to actually charge the MacBook via its own 3 pin adapter (online search is telling me the supplied USB-C adapter draws between 30 and 96 watts) and the monitor. The only other device that immediately comes to mind that I'd like to power of it is a 300W juicer.

So in terms of initial research something like

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Victr…op?ie=UTF8

seems a good fit. Given the devices I reckon I should be looking a pure sine wave inverter. I see a lot of them have a low voltage cutoff but I do want to be able to power the MacBook of it too.

Any views on the inverter, am I on the right track ?

That 300w Victron unit is A1, but the juicer will have it working at the top of its capability.
IMHO, it's a unit like that for all your sensitive electrical stuff or a 1500W unit for juicer, toaster, microwave, low wattage hairdryer, low wattage kettle, etc.
