Hi,
Do you have a laser printer? You can not run a laser printer on MSW inverter power, but on the generator or of course shore power is fine.
Ink jet printers are fine on MSW power, and I used mine a lot on the inverter. I use it to print pictures and other things. Never used for reservations, I can write down what town it is in, directions, ect. I use the GPS in my computer to get around town.
DeLorme sells a GPS system that uses a USB port receiver, and can plan trips on a 15" screen! How handy is that? DeLorme program is the only one that I know of with the ability to give out topographical map too, and can tell you how steep a grade will be along the route, you can also plan different routes to someplace like Yellowstone, and avoid the steepest routes, go with something different.
DO you have a inverter on your RV? IT is very handy for use to watch TV, catch up on the local news, and not need to run the generator all the time. It is very handy if you spend any time in forest service campgrounds or boondocking on BLM land or other places.
