I know absolutely nothing about electrical/wiring - but I would think that
even with one of those small cig lighter inverters - this would be a huge
draw on old wiring and such. I have a feeling the fuse wouldn't last too
long.

It's a good idea but like I said have a hunch it wouldn't go well.

Thanks,
