I've bought a off-brand 400 watt to mount in behind the TV so that will be it's only purpose (paid $29 for it). Later, If I can figure a way to install a microwave I'm going to get another inverter to power the entire shore-power panel. That will run the microwave and the A/C!!! I've already switched the batteries to a group 27 starting and a group 31 deep cycle with massive reserve amp hours.
I'll let you know how it turns out....with out engines, I can't test the 12V system at the moment.

Contact the Formula factory for help with anything you need......they WILL come through promptly. Sent me a fax or email (can't remember which) right away. Since I got the TV out I can't remember where the instructions are now.

I thought that I e-mailed those to you....

Hey! Just found them (direct from Formula) on my laptop. Send me your email address via PM or email, and I'll forward them out to anyone who wants them.
