Got an inverter to run small stuff while dry camping (TV, DirecTV receiver, boombox). The top 'o the propane tank is not a permanent installation. I'm going to mount it in the power cord storage compartment so I can plug right into it. It's 2,000 watts so I can't/won't run the A/C with it, but it will do just about anything else.
As an aside, I couldn't get the dish lined up during my first real test of it out in the field (NASCAR event). Turns out it was lined up, the receiver just needed reauthorized. I need to remember to do that before embarking on my next journey.
Also, if you have a really sharp eye you'll see a new Autometer water temp gauge sitting on the console. A project for another day, but I have to get the cooling system under control. The 454 is running really hot.
