It all keeps coming back to RV owners being very aware of their options regards power management.  As for me it is a balance of LP Gas and DC appliances.  The invertor is my tool of last resort for appliances that I can't find in DC.  I currently own a 600 watt and a 150 watt invertor.  The 150 watt from Radio Shack seems "cleaner" than the bigger unit.  I run my computer off the smaller unit.

i learned that anything connected to an inverter uses 10 times the
amount of power that a DC powered appliance would and thus shortening
your battery time a bunch!
