Our 16" electric chain saw is very useful. In a campground it is stealthy and doesn't attract attention. (I only cut downed, dead wood)
I can run it with the generator or an inverter that I connect to the truck. The inverter is a Harbor Freight MSW 2000/4000 and does the job providing I don't force the saw.

My truck has dual 12v batteries but the engine is allowed to continue idling and has a large 220 amp alternator.
