Friday my wife suddenly got the urge to camp. Immediately. All the TT has is the original Group 24 battery, 5w solar to maintain it and a 700w/1500w inverter I've never even run under significant l...

Mena,
Now measure the draw with a DC-to-DC upconverter brick powering your TV instead of your 120V-AC-to-12V-DC stock brick plus inverter combination powering your TV - to see which draw on your RV battery bank is less between the two setups.
Then ... the gauntlet may really wind up being thrown down.
By the way, I notice that the dynamic contrast ratio of your Vizio is not specified. This is not the best situation in the video screen specifications world - it could lower than optimum ratios in the design with subsequent compromise in subtle image quality. My LG's dynamic contrast ratio is 3,000,000 (that's 3 million) to 1. TV's with dynamic contrast ratios this high may indeed get beat slightly on current draw by TV's with lesser contrast ratios. FWIW, high contrast ratios make for superb black levels for the best images, but only avid videophiles demand these kind of performance niceties.
