I pulled my trailer out of storage to use it and my Prosine 2000 inverter doesn't work.  I didn't use the trailer at all last summer.  I'm making due without an inverter right now.

I ended up ordering a Victron Energy Multiplus inverter from Amazon.  The Magnum MSH4024M would have taken longer to ship and it can't be used with the terminals on the bottom without a conduit box.  there are some pretty cool new RV inverters from Xantrex and Magnum, but only 12 volt.

My backup plan if the Victron is late is to try to fix my Prosine by swapping in the relay from the broken Prosine 3000 I have.  I have no idea what actually broke in the broken Prosine I have.

I think the Victron was a solid choice.   

No more Xantrex for me.   The Internet is littered with stories of failed Xantrex inverters and zero help from the manufacturer.   I might try to fix mine next summer.

That s is incorrect. I don't have a Conduit box on mine and it works fine.

Correction: Magnum says a conduit box is required if the terminals are on the bottom.  I'm sure it will work without one.  It is a moot point because it would be uncertain if I could get a Magnum inverter before the weekend so I ordered the Victron instead.

The Magnum inverters seem to be designed to be installed with the terminals on the bottom so I don't understand why Magnum states a conduit box is required for that configuration.

Don't know why they would. I put mine on the side and no Box. :^

I think it has everything to do with warranty requirements. Magnum has a three year warranty! - if configured to their recommendation otherwise - zip...
