12v power versus 110 current in GMC

[richard waters]

Paul,
I have a 1000 watt inverter wired to 5 AC outlets throughout the coach.
They are powered by the generator or shore power as well by way of
a relay.

I have a regular AC powered DVD player, VCR and 26" TV that I
run powered by inverter/generator or shorepower. Since the TV etc.
do not use much power, my 2 golf cart batteries hold up real well.

No relatively expensive ASC/DC stuff for me.

I also run my computer this way.

That's what I;m doing and it works fine.

Scott,
Well it is kind of big, but I like to be able to see the TV
when I'm on the couch and my contacts are out. My eyes
are not what they used to be .

I have a 55" TV at home and to have to resort to watching
a 13" or so is to much of an adjustment for me. Just my preference.

Plus watching a DVD movie in letterbox format on a 13" TV
is really hard to do.

I know camping is supposed to be about roughing it. But
if I want to rough it, I'll go backpacking.

No satellite disk. I just have have a new TV antenna.
