Just curious, we will be boondocking for my daughters softball tournament and wondering if my son has the xbox turned on and the tv just those two things can he run off house batteries or do I need to crank up the generator for him to play for a couple hours?
If you have a modern flat screen TV it will not draw much power and the XBox is not really that much of an energy hog. You will need an inverter to provide 120V power to these devices so the size, type and number of batteries that you have on board will make a big difference in how long you can run without starting your generator. It should never be an issue, however, as the only issue is how long or how many times you have to run the generator. Since that's why you have a generator, you might as well use it!
