The Aims and Magnum and other brands of large box Inverters, some with battery chargers, are more for wiring directly into your electrical Main panel and breakers - which take some doing, even though it's certainly fantastic once you have it - but for a little 120v needs for a TV and a few items, for just 'every now and then' off-grid overnights, a small Power Inverter is really just a great simple way to accomplish the same thing - a lot less expensive and easier to manage, too.
