If you're buying a "special" it might not have a thermally controlled fan and it runs all the time. No big deal for outside use. But inside an RV, that fan can drive you nuts. The better ones only have the fans come on when needed which is just about never.
Main thing is to get it wired correctly. A 1500 watt inverter with just a four-foot wire run requires #0 cable. A 2500 watt inverter is likely to need quad cables or 2/0 (or bigger) depending on how long the wire run is. If over a 10 foot run you'll need 4/0 cable, or bigger.
Too small a cable size seems to be the main reason why inverters don't work as people expect.
On a car or tractor, it's normal for battery voltage to drop to 9 volts when cranking. But with an inverter, it cannot drop below 10.5 volts and that's not always easy to do.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
