Only you can decide if it is too much of a hassle, but we installed both a large whole house MSW inverter and a small PSW inverter in our entertainment center. At least half of our camping is without hookups and the inverters come in very handy to run HD satellite, HDTVs, Blu-ray DVD player and Bose sound system among other small draw items. Installations were simple and straightforward, we use our generator for microwave and other high draw items as our battery bank consists a pair of 6 volt GC batteries. Happy Camping!
