It was easy for me to put in my inverter and to run a line to the power
control box and to find the two outlets I needed to have with 120 v. The
rest were left as original. I think it has worked for me without having
lots of inverters to connect up.

Which inverter do you buy from Fry's? I'll there tomorrow and would like to look at it.

Gene, Isn't your statement about the microwave in direct conflict with
your list? Looks to me like you have the sinewave as a requirement for the
microwave? Also, what happens if you run a color TV on a simulated sine
wave type? Is there allot of picture interference or??

Gene, Does Fry's carry an inverter any higher that 300 watts? Can
inverters be somehow wired in parellel to provide more capacity at one point
instead of having boxes all over your GMC?

There is a good article in the Motorhome 1999 guide "Dingy towing Special'
about the stat power 40+ and they speak glowingly of it. I am in the
process of looking for one this morning. The article convinced me.

Gene,

I do nont see anything about index or page a??? I have looked at this
websight before. What am I supposed to see?
