A 150 watt inverter will give you enough power for the TV, or if you want to charge up a few phones or a laptop. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

That's what I am using, a good quality 150w. I have a triplite with no fan...nice and quiet. ------------- Cliff & Raelynn Ranger 4.0/178 (1/2 ton 5,800lb tow capacity) |

I installed a 12 volt socket around the corner from the fuse box and converter. It was easy to wire it into one of the open 15 amp circuits. I then plug in an Innova 4 socket extender, and then plug in an Innova voltmeter into one of the open sockets and a 200 watt Powerpot inverter. I never pull close to 200 watts so the circuit won't trip. This has worked very well so far. I also installed a dual USB output just below the 12 volt socket. We plug our cell phones directly into that. ------------- "Not all those who wander are lost." Tolkien 2014 Hood River 177 2005 GMC Envoy XL |
