The tv is connected to a 12v outlet, but the vcr is connected to the 110v outlet which has the lockout.

If I turn on the ignition key, both vcr and the tv shut off. I suspect that both outlets are wired together. I could bypass the lockout, like Johno02 said, but since I only have an inverter, I can only run the tv off my batteries, but not the vcr. My intent was to only run those two items off the house batteries when boondocking. Instead of buying an expensive inverter, I think I will just buy a cheap vcr that runs on batteries and convert the lockout outlet to a DC. How does that sound?
