was hoping to modify to introduce option to dry camp with light elec loads like tvs specifically. I understand there will be limits like no microwave, heater possibly, but right now kids cant watch tv in back without turning on generator even though i'm running down road at 65mph
Any suggestions or what is simpliest tack to deal with this...I'm sure others have figured this out
Please help. Thx

Might I suggest that you start a new thread for this project. Unfortunately I know of no way to simply move it. My point is that what you want involves a wide array of options and you'll find a lot of input from the users here. You'll want to keep it all in one "location".
- Just to run a tv while on the road? Yes, get an inverter that's large enough (watts/amps output) with clean power (pure sine wave) to protect the electronics. The cheap ones are modified sine wave and can destroy the controls
- To run more appliances you need a larger inverter, more battery capacity. If you dry camp without shore power you'll need to keep the batteries charged, think solar charging but that's another array of decisions. The more you study what's involved the better you can decide how to proceed. Most of this has been discussed here before so use the search function to help.
Here's a nice primer to plan your electrical expansion:
