As a sort of by necessity "prepper" with two desert properties and a home in southern shaky town the possible need to use ALL the inverters rated power in a high temp location with the inverter in a even higher temp compartment is mandatory.
So a inverter designed for intermittent loads for short duration(according to the manufacturer) and high efficiency MIGHT derate in a needed moment. I think the magnum would probably stand higher temps and continuous higher loads as that was what it was designed for.
Same reason I retained the heat strip airs, propane cook top, absorption refer and white gel coat
Older Foretravels were made for much tougher uses than pedestal to pedestal use and always had backup systems.
I realize that most rv'ers are trying to save money and still have acceptable results.
The UL approval would a deal maker to me if I was in need of that particular specs.
I would "upgrade" to a UL unit if I had a non UL unit myself up to the point of selling the non UL and buying a UL unit.
But that's me.
