I want to run a TV 22" and a DVD player in my RV, and need to know what to buy and how long it will operate at a time before the battery goes down? What do I really need to know?
Any info will be appreciated.
Thanks, Dave
ANSWER Hi Dave you can use a Power Inverter to run your TV and DVD Player
in your RV. What size Power Inverter you need is based on how many watts your appliances use. Since I don't know the type of TV you have, I cannot tell you how many watts it is going to pull. I will tell you that a DVD Player
averages around 35 Watts. I also cannot tell you how long it will take for your batteries to go down as that depends on how many watts you are using and how many and what type of house batteries you have in your RV.
We have two Power Inverters
in our motorhome, one near the drivers compartment and one in the back bedroom. See the picture to the left to see how it is installed.
We use the one in the driver's compartment to power our laptop computer while going down the road or boondocking. This keeps us from having to run the generator while traveling on the road.
The Inverter in the back bedroom is used primarily when we have our grandkids with us. They have to have that Xbox going even when boondocking.
The inverters are very easy to operate, they have a simple on/off switch (see picture below) and in our case 3 electric outlets each. Both of the Inverters we have are 600 Watts each.
