Mostly laptop computer to watch DVD's, and of course internet communication; modest interior lighting; and to recharge the cellphone appropriately. Nothing fancy like feeding a Chinese Diesel heater glowplug or anything like that. It would probably be wise for me to go ahead and get a new Walmart battery though while it is easy; I mean, $100 bucks or so isn't the end of the world. Solid service these last 11 or 12 years. Easy now at home base; crummy to do when on a roadtrip.
