I bought a Portawattz 150 for $65CDN ($42US) this summer and used it
almost daily for 2 months to run my laptop and charge camera batteries.
I  considered wiring it in permanently, but I'm relying on the dash
lighter at this point.

Subject: 12v/110v converter info needed

Hi,

I want to put a 12 v DC / 110 v AC converter in my Westy to run my
laptop
and a small TV, and need some advice.

a. What type of converter do I need? Amps, etc.

b. Where do I mount it?

c. Where's the best place to wire it in? The battery? The fusebox for
the
fridge, etc?

Thanks in advance.
