AC the quiet easy way

We are going over to Lost Dutchman SP in Apache junction, tomorrow for the long weekend. While the girls go off on their hikes (which I cannot due as the knee is still on the mend), I will be inside watching some football. We are in a non electric site and even though we have two generators, the built in 4Kw and the Honda 2000 backup, I will not be running either.

I have had the same 250 watt Statpower inverter since 1994 (bought it for less than $100 to use on our boat). It plugs into one of the 3 cigarette lighter outlets located on the dash of our E-350 Class C. A simple 6 foot extension cord reaches the power cord of the 26" Vizio and voila, color TV with no generator. Now if we want to watch a movie the Statpower will run the DVD player and the TV again with no generator, I just plug them both into the extension cord.

LED LCD's use the least power and DVD players draw next to nothing. In addition to quiet viewing we use the inverter to charge all of our many electronic toys from I Phones to cameras and even my hearing aid's and remote. The point being there are lots of low draw AC applications that do not require a generator, all it takes is a small inverter and you are good to go. :C
