I'd bring the generator on line for the event. A vacuum isn't the biggest load for the generator on the Bus but it's still around 12 amps/1400 watts of so. Team the vacuum up with an electric heater and you're getting closer to at least 1/3 load.
Easy way to keep the 12VDC and 120VAC stuff straight in you mind is think in terms of life support and nice to have. Water pump - life support (12VDC), furnace - life support (12VDC), air conditioning - nice to have (120VAC), TV - nice to have (120VAC).
That makes sense except for if I had it my way as an almost 50 year old woman the air conditioner would be life support! ;)
You guys are great. I learned a lot this afternoon from my dumb newbie question.
Thanks, Kay
