Bah. You're camping. No need for so much electrical stuff! Actually, most stuff I use has it's own batteries (laptop computer, vacuums, cell phones, etc.) I have a Honda Generator (nice quiet unit) that I can power up to recharge if need be, though most campgrounds have electrical hook ups anyway.

I use a 1000W inverter because my coffee bean grinder pulls a hefty bit of current when it is first started. Smaller inverters go into Protect if I try to use them. I only run the grinder about 20 seconds, and it consumes 130W, or about 10A on the 12-volt side, during operation. That's 0.06 A-H. |
