Subject:      maximum power for frivolous appliances...
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;


Hi all. 
I love my 82 air-cooled home on wheels to death, but I need to get a little more wattage out of the sucker to run my tv/vcr/christmas lights/strobe light/disco ball/stereo/toaster oven/etc. :) My power inverter will handle just about anything but the charging system isn't giving me the power I need. Someone suggested I add a second battery, while another person suggested a secondary alternator/generator. Is this even possible? At the moment I don't feel like adding solar panels (hehe) because the future of my GL's roof is probably a periscope/sunroof combo (don't ask). If anyone knows how to get those amps cranking, the info would be greatly appreciated.
Adrian


PS.
Anyone know of a good strong battery that makes the best use of the battery space in that smallish well?
