Hello all,
Below is my current thinking, based on all the posts y'all have made.

1. Get the alternator above suggested by Mex (thanks!) and install asap. Someone else mentioned a different type of marine-use alternator ... but it seems like the one above will do the trick.
2. Buy a decent 1000 watt pure sine wave inverter here ($150):

(I am tempted to get the Magnum mentioned - https://www.ebay.com/i/322855756325?chn=ps - although it would be $180 more .... suggestions/thoughts? is it worth it?)
3. Get a lifeline 100 ah ($295) - 125 ah battery ($400)

Any suggestions on which one to get in this range? I'm leaning towards the 100 ah 12 volt ...
I plan to make these purchases by the end of the week.
Thank you!
