I know, I've done the sums, but an inverter is what I need:-)

Do you know of the best manufacturers in the UK?

Victron do good quality inverters as well as combined inverter chargers.
Expect to pay about £1200 minimum for a top quality make.

Not UK manufactured, but a friend had a Vetus combined Inverter Charger
(When conected to shore power or the generator recharges the batteries),
don't know the model. He's a liveaboard on a swinging mooring and it's never
given him any trouble.
