Is there a 120V outlet that is powered off the converter for T.V.'s?

I am new to having a 2012 Raptor 300MP. Is there a 120V outlet that is powered of the converter for the main T.V. so you can watch it just running off the batteries - no power hook up/no generator?

I know it would be a pretty good battery drain but I have installed two of Trojans best RV/Marine batteries.

Thanks!

The converter converts 120 VAC to 12 VDC, not the other way around so no, there is not.

The tool for this job is an inverter. Most TVs these days use less than 100 watts. So if you get yourself a 100W inverter, you can plug it in to the cigarette lighter jack next to the TV, then plug the TV into the inverter.

In my old TT that is what I did, the tv and blueray were powered ONLY by the inverter.

I use the same 100w inverter that I use in our vehicles to power my laptop in the RV (cigarette lighter plug by TV). If it powers the laptop, it will surely power a small LCD TV. I'm not sure about a "tube" TV.
