The thickness of the wire in the Bargeman connector is usually much smaller than what is used in jumper cables.  Connecting the running  tow vehicle directly to your Pod battery with jumper cables will dump amps much faster than connecting through the bargeman.  I use a single group 27 battery that will last at least 3 days.  If I run low on power I just connect the jumper cables for 20 to 30 minutes.  Works very well and is inexpensive.

So how does and inverter work for running the TV and how is it set up?


Take a look at this:

inverter

An inverter is a device that changes 12 volts DC (battery) to 120 volts AC (like household electricity). It is usually a small "box" and every one that I have purchased comes with a "cigarette lighter" type plug (there may be additional connectors). Plug the inverter's cigarette plug into a 12 volt outlet and the 120 volt television into the appropriate place on the inverter. It is that simple!
