The Thor Vegas is a Great choice.
You will love it.
In my opinion...
> No generator upgrade is necessary
> No battery upgrade is necessary, but be aware that the Thor stock batteries do not seem to last long. So within a year or so, be prepared to replace with two new high quality batteries (12 volt deep cycle or AGM, or 6 volt)
> A 1200-2000 watt inverter (built-into the Coach, of course), is preferred so you are not required to start the generator or be plugged into shore power in order to run your 600 watt device.
All the info you need about inverters is on the Thor Forum to guide you thru the installation process (i.e. if you want the Dealer to do it, or if it's your own weekend DIY project).
Many on this Forum have professionally installed an inverter in their rig for under $200 as a DIY project.
Hope to hear from you soon.
