Basically, I took out the circuit breaker and replaced it with a GFCI socket (with a power on light), and wired up a 220W inverter in that hidden area going to a switched socket - I now have 2 GFCI sockets plugged into the 110V line, and above that a single 110V socket that I turn on when I need it. I also extended the power warning light from the inverter so it sits in a little hole I drilled in the socket front cover, so I know the inverter's running. I figure it's enough to charge a laptop, or the camera battery. I don't want to run a hairdryer or anything similarly crazy, so it works out just fine for me :o) toodle pip, -- Dug Smith | Terry Pratchett: It's almost (mailto:dug@dugbert.com) | impossible to ride a rock and roll (http://www.dugbert.com) | motorbike and stay on for three verses. |
