My rig does not have the 12V cigarette plug, but I will be checking out the simple "pure sine wave inverters". I have read the battery monitors are important as well and heard a lot of good things about the Victron products. We dont use the AC much, so I do not need a big generator. It would be nice to have a small unit handy. I appreciate your help and video. Thx again
I’m happy to help. It sounds like you are on the right track. Enjoy the trips with your grandkids!

Just for further information, I can keep the batteries (2 6v batteries with 232 amp hours each) topped off if I run the generator about one out per day. If I don’t run the generator I can camp for three or four days, depleting the batteries to about 60% state of charge, before I need to recharge
