Ok, thanks for the input. I have a honda 1000w generator and I told her to get a 1000w hair dryer, so maybe the best bet is to just use the generator? Other than the hair dryer, I pretty much don't have a need to cover any heavy loads. We are pretty frugal, other than drying hair.
Well I said it once already but all this talk about high wattage inverters and generators is unnecessary ... a 1000 watt inverter will easily power a hair dryer on it's lowest setting, typically 350 to 500 watts. Just takes a little longer but works just fine ... reserve genset use for recharging the battery.
