My question for all these 12V gadgets is why not just get an
inverter?  OK, so there's some overhead electricity use and they have
their limitations, but unless you're a gadget nut and just hafta have
separate 12V appliances, consider an inverter.

I have a 300W continuous/600W peak that I got for $63 at Damark and
it runs my laptop, ZIP drive, razor recharger, NiCad battery charger,
etc. (not all at once...2 outlets) and we haven't even done any
serious camping yet.

My $.02.
