Just for the record...
I have a little Hibrid with 100w solar panel on the roof and just adding a portable 100w for shady areas.
I purchased a 12v plug for my tv as it was already dc voltage. (Note: any appiance that has a little black box the you plug into a wall socket is likely a 12v appliance. The little black box should have written on it the ac in and dc out values.)
I have dc cords for everything accept my dvd player as I could not find one (at the time) that was already dc. I have a small inverter to handle that.
The only things that I cannot use while boon docking are my microwave and air conditioner. Those items would be a little much for a two 6v battery bank.
I did just yesterday, however, install a new PowerMax PM4 100 amp Smart converter/charger.
I did this because I found that the regular RV converter charger would likely only charge my batteries to 70% and did so in a way that it would eventually boil them dry in the process.
