As you point out invertors are not the most efficient way to power Airstream appliances.
Since there are DC TV's somewhere I am assuming they will have less draw.

The ultimate would be a computer with an LCD screen and a TV tuner and video input that runs on 13.5 volts AND a direct satellite connection for TV and email.  That would eliminate the weight and power consumption of having both a TV and computer.

I'm pretty sure they are available today but the package would cost more than a Hensley Hitch :)

Bob,

Why not use an inverter. I bought a 300 watt portable unit from Camping
World as a standby till I do the solar panels, extra batteries, whole coach
inverter thing. I just bought a new(low watt consumption" 13" AC tv and I
can run both a satellite receiver and tv off a single battery with the 300
watt inverter while boondocking.........but not for a long period of time.
That, will be addressed in phase II.  ;~)
