120v only lights in slide- convert to 12v?
Our 2005 Cougar 304BHS living room/dining slide ONLY has 120v lighting, one over the table and one over the couch. Boondock = no lights (!) I have a few questions about "fixing" it. 1. 120v only...

I posted a while back that I get that 1 DC amp draw via inverter with the CFL, using my 3000w inverter.
I posted that the small inverter idea was a scam because they usually have a long thin wire situation which adds to their amp draw, but the big inverter has short fat wires with little loss.
I got more DC amps draw from that same 120v load with a small 300w inverter in the Winegard 12v socket than the 1 amp draw using the 3000w inverter up front close to the batts.
It is not the size of the inverter, it is how it is wired to the batts that counts.
