Do I need an inverter
I feel a little stupid asking this question, but I want to make sure I understand. We are doing our first dry camping, and wanted to know if I need to have an inverter. I want to be able to run my lap...

300w is a great size. You might well be fine with 150w.
I power my tv, dvd, laptop and charge small items with a Go Power 300w sine wave inverter.
I mounted the inverter behind the fuse-breaker panel. 12v connects to the main battery feed to the panel. 120v is wired into the entertainment area circuit with an automatic transfer switch. The wiring is very straight forward if you have done any home wiring before. The Go Power 300w has a provision for a remote power switch so with the touch of a button I have instant power.
GP 300w SW $172
Xantrex 15 amp switch $49
So all in maybe $250-$300 for self install.
