Bah. You're camping. No need for so much electrical stuff!

Actually, most stuff I use has it's own batteries (laptop computer,
vacuums, cell phones, etc.) I have a Honda Generator (nice quiet
unit) that I can power up to recharge if need be, though most
campgrounds have electrical hook ups anyway.

Dennis, you are right. But there are still times where a larger inverter
can be useful. I use a 1000W inverter because my coffee bean grinder
pulls a hefty bit of current when it is first started. Smaller inverters
go into Protect if I try to use them. I only run the grinder about 20
seconds, and it consumes 130W, or about 10A on the 12-volt side, during
operation. That's 0.06 A-H.
